FEGETENV(P)                                                                           FEGETENV(P)



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  repre-
       sented 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, fes-
       etenv() shall return zero. Otherwise, it shall return a non-zero value.
