NAME

       finite(), finitef(), finitel(), finitew(), finiteq() - finiteness functions

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The function determines whether its argument has a finite value (zero, subnormal, or normal, and not infinite or NaN).

       These functions are superseded by the standard macro.  They are provided in HP-UX to facilitate importing code from other platform.

       is a version of it takes a argument.

       is a version of it takes a argument.

       is an version of it takes an argument.

       is equivalent to on HP-UX systems.

USAGE

       To use these functions, compile either with the default option or with the and options.

       To use or compile also with the option.

       Make sure your program includes Link in the math library by specifying on the compiler or linker command line.

RETURN VALUE

       returns a nonzero value if and only if its argument has a finite value.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.
