.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR fma ()
function computes
.IR x " * " y " + " z .
The result is rounded according to the
rounding mode determined by the value of FLT_ROUNDS.
FLT_ROUNDS indicates the implementation-defined rounding
behaviour for floating-point addition,
and has one of the following values:
.IP \-1
The rounding mode is not determinable.
.IP 0
Rounding is towards 0.
.IP 1
Rounding is towards nearest number.
.IP 2
Rounding is towards positive infinity.
.IP 3
Rounding is towards negative infinity.
.PP
Other values represent machine-dependent, non-standard rounding modes.
