fea681da | 60 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
5600f73a | 61 | These functions return a value whose absolute value matches that of |
022671eb MK |
62 | .IR x , |
63 | but whose sign bit matches that of | |
64 | .IR y . | |
847e0d88 | 65 | .PP |
d9d62b8f MK |
66 | For example, |
67 | .I "copysign(42.0,\ \-1.0)" | |
68 | and | |
69 | .I "copysign(\-42.0, \-1.0)" | |
70 | both return \-42.0. | |
db002ad7 MK |
71 | .SH RETURN VALUE |
72 | On success, these functions return a value whose magnitude is taken from | |
73 | .I x | |
