PFE(I)  −  PWB/UNIX 11/1/73

NAME

pfe − print floating exception

SYNOPSIS

pfe

DESCRIPTION

Pfe examines the floating point exception register and prints a diagnostic for the last floating point exception. 

SEE ALSO

signal (II)

BUGS

Since the system does not save the exception register in a core image file, the message refers to the last error encountered by anyone.  Floating exceptions are therefore volatile.
