.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fpclassify
|
|
macro takes an argument of
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
and returns one of the following manifest constants.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv FP_SUBNORMAL"
|
|
.It Dv FP_INFINITE
|
|
Indicates that
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
is an infinite number.
|
|
.It Dv FP_NAN
|
|
Indicates that
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
is not a number (NaN).
|
|
.It Dv FP_NORMAL
|
|
Indicates that
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
is a normalized number.
|
|
.It Dv FP_SUBNORMAL
|
|
Indicates that
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
is a denormalized number.
|
|
.It Dv FP_ZERO
|
|
Indicates that
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
is zero (0 or \-0).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn isfinite
|
|
macro returns a non-zero value if and only if its argument has
|
|
a finite (zero, subnormal, or normal) value.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn isinf ,
|
|
.Fn isnan ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn isnormal
|
|
macros return non-zero if and only if
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
is an infinity, NaN,
|
|
or a non-zero normalized number, respectively.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The symbol
|
|
.Fn isnanf
|
|
is provided as an alias to
|
|
.Fn isnan
|
|
for compatibility, and its use is deprecated.
|
|
Similarly,
|
|
.Fn finite
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn finitef
|
|
are deprecated versions of
|
|
.Fn isfinite .

The

.Fn isfinite ,
|
|
.Fn isinf ,
|
|
.Fn isnan ,

.Fn isinf

described above.
