NAME

SYNOPSIS

13       #include <math.h>
14
15       double modf(double x, double *iptr);
16       float modff(float x, float *iptr);
17       long double modfl(long double x, long double *iptr);

DESCRIPTION

27       These functions break the argument x into an integral part and a  frac‐
28       tional  part,  each of which has the same sign as x.  The integral part
29       is stored in the location pointed to by iptr.
30

RETURN VALUE

32       These functions return the fractional part of x.
33
34       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned, and *iptr is set to a NaN.
35
36       If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), +0 (-0) is returned, and
37       *iptr is set to positive infinity (negative infinity).
