NAME

       fegetexceptflag, fesetexceptflag - get and set floating-point status flags

SYNOPSIS

       #include <fenv.h>

       int fegetexceptflag(fexcept_t *flagp, int excepts);
       int fesetexceptflag(const fexcept_t *flagp, int excepts);

DESCRIPTION

       The   fegetexceptflag()   function   shall  attempt  to  store  an  implementation-defined
       representation of the states of the floating-point status flags indicated by the  argument
       excepts in the object pointed to by the argument flagp.

       The  fesetexceptflag()  function  shall  attempt  to  set  the floating-point status flags
       indicated by the argument excepts to the states stored in the object pointed to by  flagp.
       The  value pointed to by flagp shall have been set by a previous call to fegetexceptflag()
       whose second argument represented at least those floating-point exceptions represented  by
       the  argument  excepts.  This  function does not raise floating-point exceptions, but only
       sets the state of the flags.

RETURN VALUE

       If the representation  was  successfully  stored,  fegetexceptflag()  shall  return  zero.
       Otherwise, it shall return a non-zero value. If the excepts argument is zero or if all the
       specified  exceptions  were  successfully  set,  fesetexceptflag()  shall   return   zero.
       Otherwise, it shall return a non-zero value.
