ATTRIBUTE TYPEATTRIBUTE VALUE _ Interface StabilityCommitted _ MT-LevelMT-Safe _ StandardSee \fBstandards\fR(5). .TE .SH SEE ALSO .sp .LP \fBfegetenv\fR(3M), \fBfenv.h\fR(3HEAD), \fBfeupdateenv\fR(3M), \fBattributes\fR(5), \fBstandards\fR(5) .SH NOTES .sp .LP In a multithreaded program, the \fBfeholdexcept()\fR function affects the floating point environment only for the calling thread. .sp .LP The \fBfeholdexcept()\fR function automatically installs and deinstalls \fBSIGFPE\fR handlers and sets and clears the trap enable mode bits in the floating point status register as needed. If a program uses these functions and attempts to install a \fBSIGFPE\fR handler or control the trap enable mode bits independently, the resulting behavior is not defined.
