.SH NAME
fetestexcept \- test floating-point exception flags
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
\fB#include <fenv.h>
.br
.sp
int fetestexcept(int\fP \fIexcepts\fP\fB);
.br
\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fIfetestexcept\fP() function shall determine which of a specified
subset of the floating-point exception flags are
currently set. The \fIexcepts\fP argument specifies the floating-point
status flags to be queried.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
The \fIfetestexcept\fP() function shall return the value of the bitwise-inclusive
OR of the floating-point exception macros
corresponding to the currently set floating-point exceptions included
in \fIexcepts\fP.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
No errors are defined.
.LP
\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
The following example calls function \fIf\fP() if an invalid exception
is set, and then function \fIg\fP() if an overflow
exception is set:
.sp
.RS
.nf

\fB#include <fenv.h>
/* ... */
{
    #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON
    int set_excepts;
    feclearexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_OVERFLOW);
    // maybe raise exceptions
    set_excepts = fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_OVERFLOW);
    if (set_excepts & FE_INVALID) f();
    if (set_excepts & FE_OVERFLOW) g();
