_get_output_format

Gets the current value of the output format flag.

Syntax

unsigned int _get_output_format();

Return value

The current value of the output format flag.

Remarks

The output format flag controls features of formatted I/O. The flag has two possible values: 0 and _TWO_DIGIT_EXPONENT. If _TWO_DIGIT_EXPONENT is set, the floating point number is printed with only two digits in the exponent unless a third digit is required by the size of the exponent. If the flag is zero, the floating point output displays three digits of exponent, using zeroes if necessary to pad the value to three digits.
