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 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.
