PROLOG

6       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux

NAME

12       fpclassify - classify real floating type
13

SYNOPSIS

15       #include <math.h>
16
17       int fpclassify(real-floating x);
18
19

DESCRIPTION

21       The fpclassify() macro shall classify its argument value as NaN,  infi‐
22       nite,  normal,  subnormal, zero, or into another implementation-defined
23       category. First, an argument represented in a  format  wider  than  its
24       semantic type is converted to its semantic type. Then classification is
25       based on the type of the argument.
26

RETURN VALUE

28       The fpclassify() macro shall return the value of the number classifica‐
29       tion macro appropriate to the value of its argument.
