FEHOLDEXCEPT(P)		   POSIX Programmer's Manual	       FEHOLDEXCEPT(P)

PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the	 corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       feholdexcept - save current floating-point environment

SYNOPSIS
       #include <fenv.h>

       int feholdexcept(fenv_t *envp);

DESCRIPTION
       The feholdexcept() function shall save the current floating-point envi‐
       ronment in the object pointed to by envp, clear the floating-point sta‐
       tus flags, and then install  a  non-stop	 (continue  on	floating-point
       exceptions) mode, if available, for all floating-point exceptions.

RETURN VALUE
       The  feholdexcept()  function shall return zero if and only if non-stop
       floating-point exception handling was successfully installed.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION USAGE
       None.

RATIONALE
       The  feholdexcept()   function	should	 be   effective	  on   typical
       IEC 60559:1989 standard implementations which have the default non-stop
       mode and at least one other mode for trap handling or aborting. If  the
       implementation  provides	 only  the  non-stop mode, then installing the
       non-stop mode is trivial.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
