Name
       pfm_inhibit_faults - inhibit asynchronous faults

Syntax
       #include <idl/c/base.h>
       #include <idl/c/pfm.h>

       void pfm_$inhibit_faults()

Description
       The  routine prevents asynchronous faults from being passed to the calling process.  While faults are inhibited, the operating system holds
       at most one asynchronous fault.	Consequently, a call to can result in the loss of some signals.  It is good  practice  to  inhibit  faults
       only when absolutely necessary.	This call has no effect on the processing of synchronous faults such as floating-point and overflow excep-
       tions, access violations, and so on.
