FPP_$GET_IEEE_UNDERFLOW_MODE      Domain/OS       FPP_$GET_IEEE_UNDERFLOW_MODE


NAME
     fpp_$get_ieee_underflow_mode - report the underflow mode

SYNOPSIS (C)
     #include <apollo/base.h>
     #include <apollo/fpp.h>

     void fpp_$get_ieee_underflow_mode(
          boolean *ieee_mode,
          status_$t *status)

SYNOPSIS (Pascal)
     %include '/sys/ins/base.ins.pas';
     %include '/sys/ins/fpp.ins.pas';

     procedure fpp_$get_ieee_underflow_mode(
          out ieee_mode: boolean;
          out status: status_$t);

SYNOPSIS (FORTRAN)
     %include '/sys/ins/base.ins.ftn'
     %include '/sys/ins/fpp.ins.ftn'

           logical ieee_mode
           integer*4 status

           call fpp_$get_ieee_underflow_mode(ieee_mode, status)

DESCRIPTION
     Fpp_$get_ieee_underflow_mode reports whether the FPU is operating in full
     compliance with the IEEE-754 standard for denormalized mode.  IEEE-754
     underflow mode is the default underflow mode for the DN10000 series.

     ieee_mode
          If true, the FPU is operating in full IEEE-754 denormalized mode;
          otherwise, underflow is from the smallest normalized value to zero.

     status
          The completion status.
