98.Sh DESCRIPTION
99When a floating point exception is detected, the exception sticky flag is
100set and the exception mask is tested.
101If the mask is set, then a trap
102occurs.  These routines allow both setting the floating point exception
103masks, and  resetting the exception sticky flags after an exception is
104detected.  In addition, they allow setting the floating point rounding mode
105and precision.
106.Pp
107The
108.Fn fpgetround
109function
110returns the current floating point rounding mode.
111.Pp
112The
113.Fn fpsetround
114function
115sets the floating point rounding mode and returns
116the previous mode.
117.Pp
118The
119.Fn fpgetprec
120function
121returns the current floating point precision.
122.Pp
123The
124.Fn fpsetprec
125function
126sets the floating point precision and returns
127the previous precision.
128.Pp
129The
130.Fn fpgetmask
131function
132returns the current floating point exception masks.
133.Pp
134The
135.Fn fpsetmask
136function
137sets the floating point exception masks and returns the
138previous masks.
139.Pp
140The
141.Fn fpgetsticky
142function
143returns the current floating point sticky flags.
144.Pp
145The
146.Fn fpresetsticky
147function
148clears the floating point sticky flags and returns
149the previous flags.
150.Pp
151Sample code which prevents a trap on divide-by-zero:
152.Bd -literal -offset indent
153fpsetmask(~FP_X_DZ);
154a = 1.0;
155b = 0;
156c = a / b;
157fpresetsticky(FP_X_DZ);
158fpsetmask(FP_X_DZ);

160.Sh SEE ALSO
161.Xr isnan 3
162.Sh CAVEAT
163After a floating point exception and before a mask is set, the sticky
164flags must be reset.  If another exception occurs before the sticky
165flags are reset, then a wrong exception type may be signaled.
166.Sh HISTORY
167These routines are based on SysV/386 routines of the same name.
