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

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