fegetenv, fesetenv

Header: <fenv.h>

  1. Attempts to store the status of the floating-point environment in the object pointed to by envp.

# Declarations

(since C99)

int fesetenv( const fenv_t* envp );

(since C99)

# Parameters

# Return value

0 on success, non-zero otherwise.

# Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <fenv.h>
 
#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON
