       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       OS manual page for details of OS behavior), or the interface may not be
       implemented on OS.

       fegetround, fesetround -- get and set current rounding direction

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
       #include <fenv.h>

       int fegetround(void);
       int fesetround(int _r_o_u_n_d);

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       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.1-2008
       defers to the ISO C standard.

       The _f_e_g_e_t_r_o_u_n_d() function shall get the current rounding direction.

       The _f_e_s_e_t_r_o_u_n_d() function shall establish the rounding direction
       represented by its argument _r_o_u_n_d.  If the argument is not equal to the
       value of a rounding direction macro, the rounding direction is not
       changed.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       The _f_e_g_e_t_r_o_u_n_d() 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.

       The _f_e_s_e_t_r_o_u_n_d() function shall return a zero value if and only if the
       requested rounding direction was established.

EERRRROORRSS
       No errors are defined.

       The following example saves, sets, and restores the rounding direction,
       reporting an error and aborting if setting the rounding direction
       fails:
