FPP_$STATUS                       Domain/OS                        FPP_$STATUS


NAME
     fpp_$status - modify the floating-point status register

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

     void fpp_$status(
          fpp_op_t &option,
          unsigned long int *status_reg,
          status_$t *status)

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

     procedure fpp_$status(
          in option: fpp_op_t;
          var status_reg: set_32;
          out status: status_$t);

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

           integer*4 status, status_reg
           integer*2 option

           call fpp_$status(option, status_reg, status)

DESCRIPTION
     Fpp_$status modifies the floating-point status register.  Fpp_$status is
     for use only on the DN10000 series and on machines equipped with the
     MC68881 or FPX units.  When called on other machines, it will return
     fpp_$unsupported_operation in status.

     option
          Specify one of the following predefined values:

          read_op
               Read the floating-point status register into status_reg.

          write_op
               Write the floating-point status register from status_reg.

          exch_op
               Exchange the contents of the floating-point status register
               with the contents status_reg.

     status_reg
          A 32-bit image of the floating-point status register.  It is inter-
          preted as follows:
