ISINF(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual ISINF(3)
NAME
isinf, isnan, isnanf -- test for infinity or not-a-number
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
int
isinf(double);
int
isnan(double);
int
isnanf(float);
DESCRIPTION
The isinf() function returns 1 if the number is ``infinity'', otherwise
0.
The isnan() and isnanf() functions return 1 if the double or float
(respectively) is ``not-a-number'', otherwise 0.
SEE ALSO
math(3)
IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic, Std 754-1985, ANSI.
BUGS
Neither the VAX nor the Tahoe floating point have distinguished values
for either infinity or not-a-number. These routines always return 0 on
those architectures.
