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

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

20       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with  the
21       ISO C  standard.  Any  conflict between the requirements described here
22       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This  volume  of  POSIX.1‐2017
23       defers to the ISO C standard.
24
25       The  isgreaterequal()  macro shall determine whether its first argument
26       is greater  than  or  equal  to  its  second  argument.  The  value  of
27       isgreaterequal(x,  y)  shall  be  equal  to  (x) ≥ (y); however, unlike
28       (x) ≥ (y), isgreaterequal(x, y) shall not raise the  invalid  floating-
29       point exception when x and y are unordered.
30

RETURN VALUE

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

APPLICATION USAGE

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

RATIONALE

59       None.
