fea681da 62.SH DESCRIPTION
5600f73a 63These functions break the argument
022671eb
MK
64.I x
65into an integral
66part and a fractional part, each of which has the same sign as
67.IR x .
68The integral part is stored in the location pointed to by
69.IR iptr .
47297adb 70.SH RETURN VALUE
5600f73a 71These functions return the fractional part of
022671eb 72.IR x .
847e0d88 73.PP
43595898
MK
74If
75.I x
76is a NaN, a NaN is returned, and
385cf745 77.IR *iptr
43595898 78is set to a NaN.
847e0d88 79.PP
43595898
MK
80If
81.I x
c3074d70 82is positive infinity (negative infinity), +0 (\-0) is returned, and
43595898
MK
83.IR *iptr
84is set to positive infinity (negative infinity).
