>This math library is capable of being operated in several
different compatibility modes. These options deal solely with how
errors are handled. </P
><P
>There are 4 compatibility modes: ANSI/POSIX 1003.1;
IEEE-754; X/Open Portability Guide issue 3 (XPG3); and
System V Interface Definition Edition 3. </P
><P
>In IEEE mode, the <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>matherr()</TT
> function
(see below) is never called, no warning messages are printed on
the stderr output stream, and errno is never set. </P
><P
>In ANSI/POSIX mode, errno is set correctly,
but <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>matherr()</TT
> is never called and no warning messages
are printed on the stderr output stream. </P
><P
>In X/Open mode, errno is set correctly,
<TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>matherr()</TT
> is called, but no warning messages are printed
on the stderr output stream. </P
><P
>In SVID mode, functions which overflow return
a value HUGE (defined in <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>math.h</TT
>), which is the maximum
single precision floating point value (as opposed to
HUGE_VAL which is meant to stand for infinity). errno is
set correctly and <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>matherr()</TT
> is called. If
<TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>matherr()</TT
> returns 0, warning messages are printed on
the stderr output stream for some errors. </P

above methods settable at run-time. </P
