This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond- ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux. NAME
signbit -- test sign SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> int signbit(real-floating x); DESCRIPTION
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard. The signbit() macro shall determine whether the sign of its argument value is negative. NaNs, zeros, and infinities have a sign bit. RETURN VALUE
The signbit() macro shall return a non-zero value if and only if the sign of its argument value is negative. ERRORS
No errors are defined. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
None. APPLICATION USAGE
None. RATIONALE
None. FUTURE DIRECTIONS

isnan -- test for a NaN SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> int isnan(real-floating x); DESCRIPTION
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard. The isnan() macro shall determine whether its argument value is a NaN. First, an argument represented in a format wider than its semantic type is converted to its semantic type. Then determination is based on the type of the argument. RETURN VALUE
The isnan() macro shall return a non-zero value if and only if its argument has a NaN value. ERRORS
No errors are defined. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
None. APPLICATION USAGE
