| 51 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 52 | The | |
| e511ffb6 | 53 | .BR finite () |
| fea681da MK |
54 | functions return a non-zero value if \fIx\fP is neither infinite |
| 55 | nor a "not-a-number" (NaN) value, and 0 otherwise. | |
| 56 | ||
| 57 | The | |
| e511ffb6 | 58 | .BR isnan () |
| fea681da MK |
59 | functions return a non-zero value if \fIx\fP is a NaN value, |
| 60 | and 0 otherwise. | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | The | |
| e511ffb6 | 63 | .BR isinf () |
| fea681da MK |
64 | functions return 1 if \fIx\fP is plus infinity, \-1 is \fIx\fP |
| 65 | is minus infinity, and 0 otherwise. | |
| fea681da | 66 | .SH NOTE |
| c13182ef MK |
67 | Note that these functions are obsolete. |
| 68 | C99 defines macros | |
| fea681da MK |
69 | isfinite(), isinf() and isnan() (for all types) replacing them. |
| 70 | Further note that the C99 isinf() has weaker guarantees on the return value. | |
| 71 | See | |
| 72 | .BR fpclassify (3). | |
| 73 | .\" | |
| 74 | .\" finite* not on HP-UX; they exist on Tru64. | |
| 75 | .SH AVAILABILITY | |
| 76 | On a glibc system, these functions are declared by | |
| 77 | .I <math.h> | |
| 78 | when _BSD_SOURCE or _SVID_SOURCE or _GNU_SOURCE is defined. | |
| 79 | The isnan() functions will also be declared when _XOPEN_SOURCE | |
| 80 | is defined. | |
| 81 | .SH HISTORY | |
| 82 | The | |
| e511ffb6 | 83 | .BR finite () |
| b14d4aa5 MK |
84 | function occurs in 4.3BSD. |
