unsigned int _get_output_format();

The current value of the output format flag.

Remarks

The output format flag controls features of formatted I/O. At present the flag has two possible values: 0 and _TWO_DIGIT_EXPONENT. If _TWO_DIGIT_EXPONENT is set, the floating point numbers 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.
