DESCRIPTION

46       The finite(), finitef(), and finitel() functions return a nonzero value
47       if x is neither infinite nor a "not-a-number" (NaN) value, and 0 other‐
48       wise.
49
50       The isnan(), isnanf(), and isnanl() functions return a nonzero value if
51       x is a NaN value, and 0 otherwise.
52
53       The isinf(), isinff(), and isinfl() functions return 1 if x is positive
54       infinity, -1 if x is negative infinity, and 0 otherwise.

NOTES

68       Note that these functions are obsolete.  C99 defines macros isfinite(),
69       isinf(), and isnan() (for all types) replacing them.  Further note that
70       the C99 isinf() has weaker guarantees on the return value.  See fpclas‐
71       sify(3).
