ISINF(3)                NetBSD Library Functions Manual               ISINF(3)


NAME

     isinf -- test for infinity


LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)


SYNOPSIS

     #include <math.h>

     int
     isinf(real-floating x);


DESCRIPTION

     The isinf() macro determines whether its argument x is an infinity (posi-
     tive or negative).  An argument represented in a format wider than its
     semantic type is converted to its semantic type first.  The determination
     is then based on the type of the argument.


RETURN VALUES

     The isinf() macro returns a non-zero value if the value of x is an infin-
     ity.  Otherwise 0 is returned.

     IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic, Std 754-1985, ANSI.


STANDARDS

     The isinf() macro conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99'').


CAVEATS

     On VAX the isinf() function always returns 0, as the architecture doesn't
     have a representation for infinity.
