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.

26 The islessgreater() macro shall determine whether its first argument is
27 less than or greater than its second argument. The islessgreater(x, y)
28 macro is similar to (x) < (y) || (x) > (y); however, islessgreater(x,
29 y) shall not raise the invalid floating-point exception when x and y
30 are unordered (nor shall it evaluate x and y twice).
31
33 Upon successful completion, the islessgreater() macro shall return the
34 value of (x) < (y) || (x) > (y).
35
36 If x or y is NaN, 0 shall be returned.

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.
