LIBRARY
libc
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
int
fpclassify(real-floating x);
DESCRIPTION
The fpclassify() macro performs classification of its argument x. An ar-
gument represented in a format wider than its semantic type is converted
to its semantic type first. The classification is then based on the type
of the argument.
IEEE 754
FP_INFINITE infinity, either positive or negative
FP_NAN not-a-number ("NaN")
FP_NORMAL normal
FP_SUBNORMAL subnormal
FP_ZERO zero
VAX
FP_ROP reserved operand ("ROP")
FP_DIRTYZERO dirty zero
FP_NORMAL finite
FP_ZERO true zero
RETURN VALUES
The fpclassify() macro returns the value of the number classification
macro appropriate to its argument x as described above.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
