NAME
fpclassify - classify real floating type
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> int fpclassify(real-floating x);
DESCRIPTION
The fpclassify() macro shall classify its argument value as NaN, infinite, normal, subnormal, zero, or into another implementation-defined category. First, an argument represented in a format wider than its semantic type is converted to its semantic type. Then classification is based on the type of the argument.
RETURN VALUE
The fpclassify() macro shall return the value of the number classification macro appropriate to the value of its argument.
ERRORS
No errors are defined. The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
