96.Sh DESCRIPTION
97When a floating point exception is detected, the exception sticky flag is
98set and the exception mask is tested.
99If the mask is set, then a trap
100occurs.  These routines allow both setting the floating point exception
101masks, and  resetting the exception sticky flags after an exception is
102detected.  In addition, they allow setting the floating point rounding mode
103and precision.
104.Pp
105The
106.Fn fpgetround
107function
108returns the current floating point rounding mode.
109.Pp
110The
111.Fn fpsetround
112function
113sets the floating point rounding mode and returns
114the previous mode.
115.Pp
116The
117.Fn fpgetprec
118function
119returns the current floating point precision.
120.Pp
121The
122.Fn fpsetprec
123function
124sets the floating point precision and returns
125the previous precision.
126.Pp
127The
128.Fn fpgetmask
129function
130returns the current floating point exception masks.
131.Pp
132The
133.Fn fpsetmask
134function
135sets the floating point exception masks and returns the
136previous masks.
137.Pp
138The
139.Fn fpgetsticky
140function
141returns the current floating point sticky flags.
142.Pp
143The
144.Fn fpresetsticky
145function
146clears the floating point sticky flags and returns
147the previous flags.
148.Pp
149Sample code which prevents a trap on divide-by-zero:
150.Bd -literal -offset indent
151fpsetmask(~FP_X_DZ);
152a = 1.0;
153b = 0;
154c = a / b;
155fpresetsticky(FP_X_DZ);
156fpsetmask(FP_X_DZ);

158.Sh SEE ALSO
159.Xr isnan 3
160.Sh CAVEAT
161After a floating point exception and before a mask is set, the sticky
162flags must be reset.  If another exception occurs before the sticky
163flags are reset, then a wrong exception type may be signaled.
164.Sh HISTORY
165These routines are based on SysV/386 routines of the same name.
