PROLOG

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

NAME

       fetestexcept — test floating-point exception flags

SYNOPSIS

       #include <fenv.h>

       int fetestexcept(int excepts);

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.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The  fetestexcept()  function shall determine which of a specified subset of the floating-
       point exception flags are currently set. The excepts argument specifies the floating-point
       status flags to be queried.

RETURN VALUE

       The  fetestexcept()  function  shall  return  the value of the bitwise-inclusive OR of the
       floating-point  exception  macros  corresponding  to  the  currently  set   floating-point
       exceptions included in excepts.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       The following example calls function f() if an invalid exception is set, and then function
       g() if an overflow exception is set:

           #include <fenv.h>
           /* ... */
           {
               #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON
               int set_excepts;
               feclearexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_OVERFLOW);
               // maybe raise exceptions
               set_excepts = fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_OVERFLOW);
               if (set_excepts & FE_INVALID) f();
               if (set_excepts & FE_OVERFLOW) g();
               /* ... */
           }

APPLICATION USAGE
