44 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
63aa9df0 | 45 | The \fBcopysign\fP() functions return a value whose absolute value matches |
fea681da MK |
46 | that of \fIx\fP, but whose sign matches that of \fIy\fP. |
47 | If \fIx\fP is a NaN, then a NaN with the sign of \fIy\fP is returned. | |
48 | .SH NOTES | |
63aa9df0 | 49 | The \fBcopysign\fP() functions may treat a negative zero as positive. |
