Without looking it up, what does the C standard library "fegetmode"
function do?

 Nothing, it's specific to GNU libc.
 

(This has been discussed in a follow-up in comp.lang.c, but others here might not see that.)
The function is in standard C23, but not earlier C standard versions. C23 has not yet been adopted by ISO (it is due in a couple of months), so "fegetmode" is not part of current standard C.  But it will be soon.
Anyway, the point is that most C programmers can write useful C code without knowing about such functions.  I didn't intend to pick a new C23 function as an example, just a relatively obscure C standard library function, and the standard version I happened to have open at the time was C23.
