FEHOLDEXCEPT(3P)					     POSIX Programmer's Manual						  FEHOLDEXCEPT(3P)

PROLOG
       This  manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       feholdexcept -- save current floating-point environment

SYNOPSIS
       #include <fenv.h>

       int feholdexcept(fenv_t *envp);

DESCRIPTION
       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here
       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The  feholdexcept()  function  shall save the current floating-point environment in the object pointed to by envp, clear the floating-point
       status flags, and then install a non-stop (continue on floating-point exceptions) mode, if available, for all floating-point exceptions.

RETURN VALUE
       The feholdexcept() function shall return zero if and only if non-stop floating-point exception handling was successfully installed.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION USAGE
       None.

RATIONALE
       The feholdexcept() function should be effective on typical IEC 60559:1989 standard implementations which have the default non-stop mode and
       at  least one other mode for trap handling or aborting. If the implementation provides only the non-stop mode, then installing the non-stop
       mode is trivial.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
