fesetround(3)

NAME

     fegetround, fesetround -- floating-point rounding control

LIBRARY

     Math Library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <fenv.h>
     #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON

     int
     fegetround(void);

     int
     fesetround(int round);

DESCRIPTION

     The fegetround() function determines the current floating-point rounding
     mode, and the fesetround() function sets the current rounding mode to
     round.  The rounding mode is one of FE_TONEAREST, FE_DOWNWARD, FE_UPWARD,
     or FE_TOWARDZERO, as described in fenv(3).

RETURN VALUES

     The fegetround() routine returns the current rounding mode.  The
     fesetround() function returns 0 on success and non-zero otherwise; how-
     ever, the present implementation always succeeds.

SEE ALSO

     fenv(3), fpgetround(3), fpsetround(3)

STANDARDS

     The fegetround() and fesetround() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999
     (``ISO C99'').

HISTORY

     These routines first appeared in FreeBSD 5.3.  They supersede the non-
     standard fpgetround(3) and fpsetround(3) functions.
