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

12       copysign, copysignf, copysignl — number manipulation function
13

SYNOPSIS

15       #include <math.h>
16
17       double copysign(double x, double y);
18       float copysignf(float x, float y);
19       long double copysignl(long double x, long double y);

DESCRIPTION

22       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with  the
23       ISO C  standard.  Any  conflict between the requirements described here
24       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This  volume  of  POSIX.1‐2017
25       defers to the ISO C standard.
26
27       These  functions  shall produce a value with the magnitude of x and the
28       sign of y.  On implementations that represent a signed zero but do  not
29       treat  negative zero consistently in arithmetic operations, these func‐
30       tions regard the sign of zero as positive.
31

RETURN VALUE

33       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return a  value  with
34       the magnitude of x and the sign of y.
