Set the states of the specified floating-point status flags
Synopsis:
#include <fenv.h>
int fesetexceptflag( const fexcept_t *flagp,
int excepts );
Arguments:
- flagp
- A pointer to a fexcept_t object where the function can get the state information from.
- excepts
- A bitwise OR of the flags whose states you want to set; zero or more of the following:
- FE_ALL_EXCEPT — all the bits
- FE_DENORMAL — the result of a floating-point expression is a denormalized number
- FE_DIVBYZERO — pole error
- FE_INEXACT — the result can't be exactly represented as a floating-point number
- FE_INVALID — domain error
- FE_OVERFLOW — result is too large to be representable
- FE_UNDERFLOW — result is subnormal with a loss of precision

Description:
The fesetexceptflag() function attempts to copy the states of
the specified floating-point exceptions from the object pointed to by flagp.
It doesn't actually raise any exceptions; it simply sets the state of the flags.
The state isn't necessarily just a boolean value.
