FPCLASSIFY(3)		 BSD Library Functions Manual		 FPCLASSIFY(3)

NAME
     fpclassify, isfinite, isinf, isnan, isnormal -- classify a	floating-point
     number

LIBRARY
     Math Library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <math.h>

     int
     fpclassify(real-floating x);

     int
     isfinite(real-floating x);

     int
     isinf(real-floating x);

     int
     isnan(real-floating x);

     int
     isnormal(real-floating x);

DESCRIPTION
     The fpclassify() macro takes an argument of x and returns one of the fol-
     lowing manifest constants.

     FP_INFINITE   Indicates that x is an infinite number.

     FP_NAN	   Indicates that x is not a number (NaN).

     FP_NORMAL	   Indicates that x is a normalized number.

     FP_SUBNORMAL  Indicates that x is a denormalized number.

     FP_ZERO	   Indicates that x is zero (0 or -0).

     The isfinite() macro returns a non-zero value if and only if its argument
     has a finite (zero, subnormal, or normal) value.  The isinf(), isnan(),
     and isnormal() macros return non-zero if and only if x is an infinity,
     NaN, or a non-zero	normalized number, respectively.

     The symbol	isnanf() is provided as	an alias to isnan() for	compatibility,
     and its use is deprecated.	 Similarly, finite() and finitef() are depre-
     cated versions of isfinite().

STANDARDS
     The fpclassify(), isfinite(), isinf(), isnan(), and isnormal() macros
     conform to	ISO/IEC	9899:1999 ("ISO	C99").

HISTORY
     The fpclassify(), isfinite(), isinf(), isnan(), and isnormal() macros
     were added	in FreeBSD 5.1.	 3BSD introduced isinf() and isnan() func-
     tions, which accepted double arguments; these have	been superseded	by the
     macros described above.
