NAME

       fegetenv, fesetenv - get and set current floating-point environment

SYNOPSIS

       #include <fenv.h>

       int fegetenv(fenv_t *envp);
       int fesetenv(const fenv_t *envp);

DESCRIPTION

       The  fegetenv()  function  shall attempt to store the current floating-
       point environment in the object pointed to by envp.

       The fesetenv() function shall attempt to establish  the  floating-point
       environment  represented by the object pointed to by envp. The argument
       envp shall  point  to  an  object  set  by  a  call  to  fegetenv()  or
       feholdexcept(),  or  equal  a  floating-point  environment  macro.  The
       fesetenv() function does not raise floating-point exceptions, but  only
       installs  the  state  of  the  floating-point  status flags represented
       through its argument.

RETURN VALUE

       If the representation was successfully stored, fegetenv() shall  return
       zero.  Otherwise, it shall return a non-zero value.  If the environment
       was successfully established, fesetenv() shall return zero.  Otherwise,
       it shall return a non-zero value.
