95.Sh DESCRIPTION
96The routines described herein are deprecated.
97New code should use the functionality provided by
98.Xr fenv 3 .
99.Pp
100When a floating point exception is detected, the exception sticky flag is
101set and the exception mask is tested.
102If the mask is set, then a trap occurs.
103These routines allow both setting the floating point exception
104masks, and resetting the exception sticky flags after an exception is
105detected.
106In addition, they allow setting the floating point rounding mode
107and precision.
108.Pp
109The
110.Fn fpgetround
111function
112returns the current floating point rounding mode.
113.Pp
114The
115.Fn fpsetround
116function
117sets the floating point rounding mode and returns
118the previous mode.
119.Pp
120The
121.Fn fpgetprec
122function
123returns the current floating point precision.
124.Pp
125The
126.Fn fpsetprec
127function
128sets the floating point precision and returns
129the previous precision.
130.Pp
131The
132.Fn fpgetmask
133function
134returns the current floating point exception masks.
135.Pp
136The
137.Fn fpsetmask
138function
139sets the floating point exception masks and returns the
140previous masks.
141.Pp
142The
143.Fn fpgetsticky
144function
145returns the current floating point sticky flags.
146.Pp
147The
148.Fn fpresetsticky
149function
150clears the floating point sticky flags and returns
151the previous flags.
152.Pp
153Sample code which prevents a trap on divide-by-zero:
154.Bd -literal -offset indent
155fpsetmask(~FP_X_DZ);
156a = 1.0;
157b = 0;
158c = a / b;
159fpresetsticky(FP_X_DZ);
160fpsetmask(FP_X_DZ);
161.Ed
162.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
163The
164.Fn fpgetprec
165and
166.Fn fpsetprec
167functions provide functionality unavailable on many platforms.
168At present, they are implemented only on the i386 and amd64 platforms.
169.Sh SEE ALSO
170.Xr fenv 3 ,
171.Xr isnan 3
172.Sh CAVEATS
173After a floating point exception and before a mask is set, the sticky
174flags must be reset.
175If another exception occurs before the sticky
176flags are reset, then a wrong exception type may be signaled.
177.Sh HISTORY
178These routines are based on SysV/386 routines of the same name.
