If the mask is set, then a trap occurs. These routines allow both setting the floating point exception masks, and resetting the exception sticky flags after an exception is detected. In addition, they allow setting the floating point rounding mode.
p The .Fn fpgetround function returns the current floating point rounding mode.
p The .Fn fpsetround function sets the floating point rounding mode and returns the previous mode.
p The .Fn fpgetmask function returns the current floating point exception masks.
p The .Fn fpsetmask function sets the floating point exception masks and returns the previous masks.
p The .Fn fpgetsticky function returns the current floating point sticky flags.
p The .Fn fpresetsticky function clears the floating point sticky flags and returns the previous flags.
p Sample code which prevents a trap on divide-by-zero: d -literal -offset indent fpsetmask(~FP_X_DZ); a = 1.0; b = 0; c = a / b; fpresetsticky(FP_X_DZ); fpsetmask(FP_X_DZ); .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr isnan 3 .Sh CAVEAT After a floating point exception and before a mask is set, the sticky flags must be reset. If another exception occurs before the sticky flags are reset, then a wrong exception type may be signaled. .Sh HISTORY These routines are based on SysV/386 routines of the same name.
