NAME
copysign, finite, fp_class, isnan, nextafter, unordered - Related miscellaneous IEEE arithmetic functions. LIBRARY
Math Library (libm.a) SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> double copysign (double x, double y); float copysignf (float x, float y); long double copysignl (long double x, long double y); int finite (double x); int finitef (float x); int finitel (long double x); int fp_class (double x); int fp_classf (float x); int fp_classl (long double x); int isnan (double x); int isnanf (float x); int isnanl (long double x); double nextafter (double x, double y); float nextafterf (float x, float y); long double nextafterl (long double x, long double y); int unordered (double x, double y); int unorderedf (float x, float y); int unorderedl (long double x, long double y); STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows: isnan(): XPG4 nextafter(): XPG4-UNIX Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags. DESCRIPTION
The copysign(), copysignf(), and copysignl() functions return x with the same sign as y. IEEE 754 requires copysign(x,NaN), copy- signf(x,NaN) and copysignl(x,NaN) to return +x or -x. The finite(), finitef(), and finitel() functions return the integer value 1 (True) or 0 (False). The finite(x), finitef(x), and finitel(x) functions return 1 when -infinity < x < +infinity. They return 0 when |x| = infinity or x is a NaN. The fp_class(), fp_classf(), and fp_classl() functions determine the class of an IEEE floating-point value. They return one of the con- stants in the file <fp_class.h> and never cause an exception, even for signaling NaNs. These routines implement the recommended function class(x) in the appendix of the IEEE 754-1985 standard for binary floating-point arithmetic. The constants in <fp_class.h> refer to the following classes of values: ----------------------------------------------------- Constant Class ----------------------------------------------------- FP_SNAN Signaling NaN (Not-a-Number) FP_QNAN Quiet NaN (Not-a-Number) FP_POS_INF +infinity FP_NEG_INF -infinity FP_POS_NORM Positive normalized FP_NEG_NORM Negative normalized FP_POS_DENORM Positive denormalized FP_NEG_DENORM Negative denormalized FP_POS_ZERO +0.0 (positive zero) FP_NEG_ZERO -0.0 (negative zero) ----------------------------------------------------- The isnan(), isnanf(), and isnanl() functions return the value 1 (True) if x is NaN (the IEEE floating point reserved not-a-number value); otherwise, it returns the value 0 (False). The nextafter(), nextafterf(), and nextafterl() functions return the next machine-representable number from x in the direction of y. The unordered(), unorderedf(), and unorderedl() functions return the value 1 (True) if either x or y or both is a NaN; otherwise, it returns the value 0 (False). RELATED INFORMATION
