FEGETROUND(3P)             POSIX Programmer's Manual            FEGETROUND(3P)

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
       fegetround, fesetround - get and set current rounding direction
SYNOPSIS
       #include <fenv.h>
       int fegetround(void);
       int fesetround(int round);

DESCRIPTION
       The fegetround() function shall get the current rounding direction.
       The fesetround() function shall establish the rounding direction repre-
       sented by its argument round. If the argument is not equal to the value
       of a rounding direction macro, the rounding direction is not changed.
RETURN VALUE
       The fegetround() function shall return the value of the rounding direc-
       tion  macro  representing  the current rounding direction or a negative
       value if there is no such  rounding  direction  macro  or  the  current
       rounding direction is not determinable.
       The  fesetround() function shall return a zero value if and only if the
       requested rounding direction was established.
ERRORS
       No errors are defined.
       The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
       The following example saves, sets, and restores the rounding direction,
       reporting  an  error  and  aborting  if  setting the rounding direction
       fails:

              #include <fenv.h>
              #include <assert.h>
              void f(int round_dir)
              {
                  #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON
                  int save_round;
                  int setround_ok;
                  save_round = fegetround();
                  setround_ok = fesetround(round_dir);
                  assert(setround_ok == 0);
                  /* ... */
                  fesetround(save_round);
                  /* ... */
              }
