       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.

       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_r_a_i_s_e_e_x_c_e_p_t() function shall attempt to raise the supported
       floating-point exceptions represented by the argument _e_x_c_e_p_t_s.  The
       order in which these floating-point exceptions are raised is
       unspecified. Whether the _f_e_r_a_i_s_e_e_x_c_e_p_t() function additionally raises
       the inexact floating-point exception whenever it raises the overflow or
       underflow floating-point exception is implementation-defined.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       If the argument is zero or if all the specified exceptions were
       successfully raised, _f_e_r_a_i_s_e_e_x_c_e_p_t() shall return zero. Otherwise, it
       shall return a non-zero value.

EERRRROORRSS
       No errors are defined.

AAPPPPLLIICCAATTIIOONN UUSSAAGGEE
       The effect is intended to be similar to that of floating-point
       exceptions raised by arithmetic operations. Hence, enabled traps for
       floating-point exceptions raised by this function are taken.

RRAATTIIOONNAALLEE
       Raising overflow or underflow is allowed to also raise inexact because
       on some architectures the only practical way to raise an exception is
       to execute an instruction that has the exception as a side-effect. The
       function is not restricted to accept only valid coincident expressions
       for atomic operations, so the function can be used to raise exceptions
       accrued over several operations.
