.SH DESCRIPTION
These eleven functions were defined in C99, and describe the handling
-of floating-point rounding and exceptions (overflow, zero-divide etc.).
+of floating-point rounding and exceptions (overflow, zero-divide, etc.).
.SS Exceptions
The
.I divide-by-zero
.I invalid
exception occurs when there is no well-defined result
for an operation, as for 0/0 or infinity \- infinity or sqrt(\-1).
-.SS "Exception handling"
+.SS Exception handling
Exceptions are represented in two ways: as a single bit
(exception present/absent), and these bits correspond in some
implementation-defined way with bit positions in an integer,
should reflect the current rounding mode as set by
.BR fesetround ()
(but see BUGS).
-.SS "Floating-point environment"
+.SS Floating-point environment
The entire floating-point environment, including
control modes and status flags, can be handled
as one opaque object, of type
The default environment is denoted by
.B FE_DFL_ENV
(of type
-.IR "const fenv_t *" ).
+.IR "const fenv_t\ *" ).
This is the environment setup at program start and it is defined by
ISO C to have round to nearest, all exceptions cleared and a nonstop
(continue on exceptions) mode.
As before, the object
.I *envp
must be known to be valid.
-.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.SH RETURN VALUE
These functions return zero on success and nonzero if an error occurred.
.\" Earlier seven of these functions were listed as returning void.
.\" This was corrected in Corrigendum 1 (ISO/IEC 9899:1999/Cor.1:2001(E))
.\" of the C99 Standard.
.SH VERSIONS
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.

.SH NOTES
-.SS Glibc Notes
+.SS Glibc notes
If possible, the GNU C Library defines a macro
.B FE_NOMASK_ENV
which represents an environment where every exception raised causes a
trap to occur.
You can test for this macro using
.BR #ifdef .

.B FLT_ROUNDS
