PROLOG         top

       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         top

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

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <fenv.h>

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

DESCRIPTION         top

       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 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         top

       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.
