RETURN VALUE
       If x or zero, returns x.

       If x is NaN, returns NaN.

       returns	the  properly signed infinity (or, in some non-default rounding direction modes, the properly signed maximum-magnitude finite num-
       ber) in lieu of a value whose magnitude is too large, and raises the overflow and inexact exceptions.

       raises the underflow and inexact exceptions whenever a result is tiny (essentially subnormal or zero) and inexact.

ERRORS
       If the correct value would overflow, sets to
