PROLOG
       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
       copysign, copysignf, copysignl - number manipulation function

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);

DESCRIPTION
       These functions shall produce a value with the magnitude of x and the sign of y. On implementations that represent a signed zero but do not
       treat negative zero consistently in arithmetic operations, these functions regard the sign of zero as positive.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return a value with the magnitude of x and the sign of y.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION USAGE
       None.

RATIONALE
       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
