55 \fBint\fR \fBfeholdexcept\fR(\fBfenv_t *\fR\fIenvp\fR);
61 The \fBfeholdexcept()\fR function saves the current floating-point environment
62 in the object pointed to by \fIenvp\fR, clears the floating-point status flags,
63 and then installs a non-stop (continue on floating-point exceptions) mode, if
64 available, for all floating-point exceptions.
68 The \fBfeholdexcept()\fR function returns 0 if and only if non-stop
69 floating-point exception handling was successfully installed.
73 No errors are defined.
77 See \fBattributes\fR(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

101 In a multithreaded program, the \fBfeholdexcept()\fR function affects the
102 floating point environment only for the calling thread.
105 The \fBfeholdexcept()\fR function automatically installs and deinstalls
106 \fBSIGFPE\fR handlers and sets and clears the trap enable mode bits in the
107 floating point status register as needed. If a program uses these functions and
108 attempts to install a \fBSIGFPE\fR handler or control the trap enable mode bits
109 independently, the resulting behavior is not defined.
