PROLOG

6       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
7       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
8       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
9       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

13       isgreaterequal — test if x is greater than or equal to y
14

SYNOPSIS

16       #include <math.h>
17
18       int isgreaterequal(real-floating x, real-floating y);
19

DESCRIPTION

21       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with  the
22       ISO C  standard.  Any  conflict between the requirements described here
23       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This  volume  of  POSIX.1‐2008
24       defers to the ISO C standard.
25
26       The  isgreaterequal()  macro shall determine whether its first argument
27       is greater  than  or  equal  to  its  second  argument.  The  value  of
28       isgreaterequal(x,  y)  shall  be  equal  to  (x) ≥ (y); however, unlike
29       (x) ≥ (y), isgreaterequal(x, y) shall not raise the  invalid  floating-
30       point exception when x and y are unordered.
31

RETURN VALUE

33       Upon successful completion, the isgreaterequal() macro shall return the
34       value of (x) ≥ (y).
35
36       If x or y is NaN, 0 shall be returned.

APPLICATION USAGE

47       The relational and equality operators support  the  usual  mathematical
48       relationships  between  numeric values. For any ordered pair of numeric
49       values, exactly one of the relationships (less, greater, and equal)  is
50       true.  Relational operators may raise the invalid floating-point excep‐
51       tion when argument values are NaNs. For a NaN and a numeric  value,  or
52       for  two NaNs, just the unordered relationship is true. This macro is a
53       quiet (non-floating-point exception raising) version  of  a  relational
54       operator.  It facilitates writing efficient code that accounts for NaNs
55       without suffering the invalid floating-point exception. In the SYNOPSIS
56       section,  real-floating indicates that the argument shall be an expres‐
57       sion of real-floating type.
