- .SH NAME
- fegetround,

- \(em get and set current rounding direction
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- #include <fenv.h>
- .P
- int fegetround(void);
- int fesetround(int \fIround\fP);
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
- ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
- ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
- .P
- The
- \fIfegetround\fR()
- function shall get the current rounding direction.
- .P
- The
- \fIfesetround\fR()
- function shall establish the rounding direction represented by its
- argument
- .IR round .
- If the argument is not equal to the value of a rounding direction
- macro, the rounding direction is not changed.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- The
- \fIfegetround\fR()
- function shall return the value of the rounding direction 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.
- .P
- The
- \fIfesetround\fR()
- function shall return a zero value if and only if the requested
- rounding direction was established.
- .SH ERRORS
- No errors are defined.
- .LP
- .IR "The following sections are informative."
- .SH EXAMPLES
- The following example saves, sets, and restores the rounding direction,
- reporting an error and aborting if setting the rounding direction
- fails:
- .sp
- .RS 4
- .nf
- #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);
- /* ... */
- }
