94.Sh DESCRIPTION
95The routines described herein are deprecated.
96New code should use the functionality provided by
97.Xr fenv 3 .
98.Pp
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 occurs.
102These routines allow both setting the floating point exception
103masks, and resetting the exception sticky flags after an exception is
104detected.
105In addition, they allow setting the floating point rounding mode
106and precision.
107.Pp
108The
109.Fn fpgetround
110function
111returns the current floating point rounding mode.
112.Pp
113The
114.Fn fpsetround
115function
116sets the floating point rounding mode and returns
117the previous mode.
118.Pp
119The
120.Fn fpgetprec
121function
122returns the current floating point precision.
123.Pp
124The
125.Fn fpsetprec
126function
127sets the floating point precision and returns
128the previous precision.
129.Pp
130The
131.Fn fpgetmask
132function
133returns the current floating point exception masks.
134.Pp
135The
136.Fn fpsetmask
137function
138sets the floating point exception masks and returns the
139previous masks.
140.Pp
141The
142.Fn fpgetsticky
143function
144returns the current floating point sticky flags.
145.Pp
146The
147.Fn fpsetsticky
148sets the floating point sticky flags and returns
149the previous flags.
150.Pp
151The
152.Fn fpresetsticky
153function
154clears the floating point sticky flags and returns
155the previous flags.
156.Pp
157Sample code which prevents a trap on divide-by-zero:
158.Bd -literal -offset indent
159fpsetmask(~FP_X_DZ);
160a = 1.0;
161b = 0;
162c = a / b;
163fpresetsticky(FP_X_DZ);
164fpsetmask(FP_X_DZ);
165.Ed
166.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
167The
168.Fn fpgetprec
169and
170.Fn fpsetprec
171functions provide functionality unavailable on many platforms.
172At present, they are implemented only on the i386 and x86_64 platforms.
173.Sh SEE ALSO
174.Xr fenv 3 ,
175.Xr isnan 3
176.Sh CAVEATS
177After a floating point exception and before a mask is set, the sticky
178flags must be reset.
179If another exception occurs before the sticky
180flags are reset, then a wrong exception type may be signaled.
181.Sh HISTORY
182These routines are based on SysV/386 routines of the same name.
