NAME
feholdexcept() - save floating-point environment SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The function saves the current floating-point environment in the object pointed to by the argument envp. This function also clears the floating-point exception flags and disables all traps. Use with to hide spurious floating-point exceptions. Use it with to hide all floating-point exceptions. USAGE
To use this function, compile either with the default option or with the and options. Make sure your program includes For HP Integrity servers, specify on the compiler command line or place the call to this function under the effect of an affirmative pragma: If the pragma is placed outside of any top-level declarations in a file, the pragma will apply to all declarations in the compilation fol- lowing the pragma until another pragma is encountered or until the end of the file is reached. If the pragma is placed at the beginning of a block (compound statement), the pragma will apply until another pragma is encountered or until the end of the block is reached. For PA-RISC, you might need to use the compiler option in order to prevent optimizations that can undermine the specified behavior of this function. Link in the math library by specifying on the compiler or linker command line. For more information, see the at the following site: RETURN VALUE
The function returns a zero value, indicating the successful disabling of any traps. ERRORS
No errors are defined. EXAMPLES
Store the current floating-point environment in hide spurious underflow exceptions, and continue on any floating-point exceptions that occur until the call to is encountered. SEE ALSO

NAME
fesetenv() - set floating-point environment SYNOPSIS
HP Integrity Server Only PA-RISC Only DESCRIPTION
The function establishes the floating-point environment represented by the object pointed to by envp. The argument envp must point to an object set by a call to or or equal the macro Note that merely installs the state of the floating-point exception flags represented through its argument, and does not raise these float- ing-point exceptions (hence no traps will be taken).

Integrity Server Only This function always returns 0, indicating that the environment was successfully established. PA-RISC Only None. ERRORS
No errors are defined. EXAMPLES
Store the current floating-point environment, continue on exceptions, and then restore the previous environment without raising the accumu- lated floating-point exceptions. Restore the default environment: SEE ALSO
