ISINF(3) Linux Programmer's Manual ISINF(3)NAME
isinf, isnan, finite - test for infinity or not-a-number (NaN)
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
int isinf(double value);
int isnan(double value);
int finite(double value);
DESCRIPTION
The isinf() function returns -1 if value represents negative infinity, 1 if value represents positive infinity, and 0 otherwise.
The isnan() function returns a non-zero value if value is "not-a-number" (NaN), and 0 otherwise.
The finite() function returns a non-zero value if value is neither infinite nor a "not-a-number" (NaN) value, and 0 otherwise.

finite, finitef, finitel, isinf, isinff, isinfl, isnan, isnanf, isnanl - BSD floating-point classification functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
int finite(double x);
int finitef(float x);
int finitel(long double x);
int isinf(double x);
int isinff(float x);
int isinfl(long double x);
int isnan(double x);
int isnanf(float x);
int isnanl(long double x);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
finite(), finitef(), finitel():
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
isinf():
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE;
or cc -std=c99
isinff(), isinfl():
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
isnan():
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _ISOC99_SOURCE;
or cc -std=c99
isnanf(), isnanl():
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600
DESCRIPTION
The finite() functions return a nonzero value if x is neither infinite nor a "not-a-number" (NaN) value, and 0 otherwise.
The isnan() functions return a nonzero value if x is a NaN value, and 0 otherwise.
The isinf() functions return 1 if x is positive infinity, -1 if x is negative infinity, and 0 otherwise.
NOTES
Note that these functions are obsolete. C99 defines macros isfinite(), isinf(), and isnan() (for all types) replacing them. Further note
that the C99 isinf() has weaker guarantees on the return value. See fpclassify(3).

I want to build a little website on a Sun Blade 100 running Solaris 10.
I just went out to apache.org and downloaded Unix Source: httpd-2.2.8.tar.gz
After unpacking the tarball, I CD'd into the subdirectory and ran the configure utility. Of course, it crapped out. I see that it is... (17 Replies)
Hello,
I would like to understand this... I'm using ksh and doing
(( z = y - 1 ))
if y=34, then the result for z is 33, but if y=034 the result is z=27. Why??
Thanks (15 Replies)
I am using getopt_long to pass arguments to a C++ program. Arguments are passed with a key and a value separated by a space of '=' sign. Some options do not need to assign a value to them.
Example:
./raytrac dist=0.3 --color
I have some classes that need to use some of these... (18 Replies)
I have a few input values on a form that must be in 0.25 steps, how do I force this ? alternatively how do I automatically enter the correct vales as the user types and disallow any other values ie: as the firstnumber is typed (say 3) then .00 is added, then as the decimal point and the first...

Does anyone know the differences in commands when it come to Linux and Mac OS X? I'm wanting to know if I use "this" command in Linux and It doesn't work in Mac then what command is equivalent to the one in Linux. Example Ctrl+Alt+f2 switches to (tty2) so what equivalent switches to ttys2 on Mac? (13 Replies)
Hi
We meet errors while running configuration scripts to prepare compiling source code on AIX 7.2. This error does not happen on AIX5.3 and AIX6.1
With the “/usr/bin/sh” from AIX7.2, sometimes , the script runs sucessfully, sometimes not. It’s unstable, and I don’t know why.
When... (10 Replies)
