+.Sh NAME
+.Nm fegetenv ,
+.Nm feholdexcept ,
+.Nm fesetenv ,
+.Nm feupdateenv
+.Nd manage floating-point environment
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <fenv.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn fegetenv "fenv_t *envp"
+.Ft int
+.Fn feholdexcept "fenv_t *envp"
+.Ft int
+.Fn fesetenv "const fenv_t *envp"
+.Ft int
+.Fn feupdateenv "const fenv_t *envp"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These functions manage the floating-point environment -- status
+flags, rounding direction modes and exception masks -- as one entity.
+The
+.Fa envp
+input argument is an object representing floating-point environment.
+The macro
+.Dv FE_DFL_ENV
+represents the default floating-point environment -- the one installed
+at program startup.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn fegetenv
+function stores the current floating-point environment in the object
+pointed to by
+.Pa envp .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn feholdexcept
+function saves the current floating-point environment in the object
+pointed to by
+.Pa envp ,
+clears the floating-point status flags, and then installs a non-stop
+(continue on floating-point exceptions) mode for all floating-point
+exceptions.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn fesetenv
+function establishes the floating-point environment represented by
+the object pointed to by
+.Pa envp .
+The argument
+.Pa envp
+shall point to an object set by a call to
+.Fn fegetenv
+or
+.Fn feholdexcept ,
+or equal the macro
+.Dv FE_DFL_ENV .
+Note that
+.Fn fesetenv
+merely installs the state of the floating-point status flags
+represented through its argument, and does not raise these
+floating-point exceptions.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn feupdateenv
+function saves the currently raised floating-point exceptions in
+its automatic storage, installs the floating-point environment
+represented by the object pointed to by
+.Pa envp ,
+and then raises the saved floating-point exceptions.
+The argument
+.Pa envp
+shall point to an object set by a call to
+.Fn feholdexcept
+or
+.Fn fegetenv ,
+or equal the macro
+.Dv FE_DFL_ENV .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn fegetenv ,
+.Fn feholdexcept ,
+.Fn fesetenv ,
+and
+.Fn feupdateenv
+functions return zero on success, and non-zero if an error occurred.
+.Sh SEE ALSO

+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn fegetenv ,
+.Fn feholdexcept ,
+.Fn fesetenv ,
+and
+.Fn feupdateenv
+functions conform to
+.St -isoC-99 .
+.Pp
+The return types for
+.Fn fegetenv ,
+.Fn fesetenv ,
+and
+.Fn feupdateenv
+are
+.Vt int
+for alignment with
+.St -isoC-99
