NAME

fpclassify - classify real floating type

LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS



int fpclassify(real-floating x)

DESCRIPTION

The fpclassify() macro performs classification of its argument x. An argument represented in a format wider than its semantic type is converted to its semantic type first. The classification is then based on the type of the argument.

IEEE 754

FP_INFINITE
infinity, either positive or negative
FP_NAN
not-a-number (``NaN'')
FP_NORMAL
normal
FP_SUBNORMAL
subnormal
FP_ZERO
zero

VAX

FP_ROP
reserved operand (``ROP'')
FP_DIRTYZERO
dirty zero
FP_NORMAL
finite
FP_ZERO
true zero

RETURN VALUES

The fpclassify() macro returns the value of the number classification macro appropriate to its argument x as described above.

ERRORS

No errors are defined.
