NAME

fesettrapenable() — set exception trap enable bits

SYNOPSIS

#include <fenv.h>

void fesettrapenable(int excepts);

DESCRIPTION

The fesettrapenable() function sets the exception trap enable bits indicated by the argument excepts. The argument can be constructed as a bitwise OR of the exception macros: FE_INEXACT, FE_DIVBYZERO, FE_UNDERFLOW, FE_OVERFLOW, and FE_INVALID. FE_ALL_EXCEPT represents all the exceptions.

The function also clears the trap enable bits for any exceptions not indicated by the argument excepts.

To use this function, compile either with the default -Ae option or with the -Aa and -D_HPUX_SOURCE options. Make sure your program includes <fenv.h>. Link in the math library by specifying -lm on the compiler or linker command line.

For more information, see the HP-UX Floating-Point Guide.

RETURN VALUE

None.

ERRORS

No errors are defined.

EXAMPLE

Set a trap

#include <fenv.h> /*...*/ fesettrapenable(FE_OVERFLOW | FE_DIVBYZERO);
