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.
