+.SH PROLOG
+This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
+The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
+the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
+or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
+
+.SH NAME
+feraiseexcept
+\(em raise floating-point exception
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <fenv.h>
+.P
+int feraiseexcept(int \fIexcepts\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+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\(hy2008 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+The
+\fIferaiseexcept\fR()
+function shall attempt to raise the supported floating-point exceptions
+represented by the argument
+.IR excepts .
+The order in which these floating-point exceptions are raised is
+unspecified. Whether the
+\fIferaiseexcept\fR()
+function additionally raises the inexact floating-point exception
+whenever it raises the overflow or underflow floating-point exception
+is implementation-defined.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+If the argument is zero or if all the specified exceptions were
+successfully raised,
+\fIferaiseexcept\fR()
+shall return zero. Otherwise, it shall return a non-zero value.
+.SH ERRORS
+No errors are defined.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+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.
+.SH RATIONALE
+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.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
