A client application expects floating point data to be represented in a particular way. An Open Server application can retrieve the client’s floating point representation by calling srv_thread_props with property set to SRV_T_FLTTYPE and cmd set to CS_GET. The client returns one of the following values in the address space to which bufp points.
SRV_FLT_IEEE – IEEE floating point format.
SRV_FLT_ND5000 – ND5000 floating point format.
SRV_FLT_ VAX – VAX ‘D’ floating point format.
SRV_FLT_UNKNOWN – unknown floating point format.
