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 floatingpoint 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.
