DESCRIPTION

^[CX] The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2024 defers to the ISO C standard.

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.
