NAME

fpsim − report or change the status of floating point simulation

SYNTAX

/etc/fpsim [ mode ]

DESCRIPTION

The fpsim command without any arguments will report the current status of the kernel floating point simulator, it is either enabled, disabled, or not configured in.  If mode is specified it must be either on or off, which will respectively enable or disable the simulator, provided that the simulator was configured into the current system.  The new state is then reported.  Only the superuser is allowed to change the status of the simulator. 

RESTRICTIONS

This command is only temporary. It is intended only for use if the kernel floating point simulator should quit. Once it has been more thoroughly tested and verified there will no longer be a need to be able to turn it off on a running system.
