COPYSIGN(3) Linux Programmer's Manual COPYSIGN(3) NAME
copysign, copysignf, copysignl - copy sign of a number 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); Link with -lm. Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): copysign(), copysignf(), copysignl(): _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE DESCRIPTION
These functions return a value whose absolute value matches that of x, but whose sign bit matches that of y. For example, copysign(42.0, -1.0) and copysign(-42.0, -1.0) both return -42.0. RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return a value whose magnitude is taken from x and whose sign is taken from y. If x is a NaN, a NaN with the sign bit of y is returned. ERRORS
No errors occur. ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7). +-------------------------------------+---------------+---------+ |Interface | Attribute | Value | +-------------------------------------+---------------+---------+ |copysign(), copysignf(), copysignl() | Thread safety | MT-Safe | +-------------------------------------+---------------+---------+ CONFORMING TO
C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008. This function is defined in IEC 559 (and the appendix with recommended functions in IEEE 754/IEEE 854). NOTES
On architectures where the floating-point formats are not IEEE 754 compliant, these functions may treat a negative zero as positive. SEE ALSO
