man finite (Fonctions bibliothèques) - finite, finitef, finitel, isinf, isinff, isinfl, isnan, isnanf, isnanl - BSD floating point classification functions

NAME

finite, finitef, finitel, isinf, isinff, isinfl, isnan, isnanf, isnanl - BSD floating point classification functions

SYNOPSIS

#define _BSD_SOURCE


#include <math.h> int finite(double x);

int finitef(float x);

int finitel(long double x); int isinf(double x);

int isinff(float x);

int isinfl(long double x); int isnan(double x);

int isnanf(float x);

int isnanl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION

The finite() functions return a non-zero value if x is neither infinite nor a "not-a-number" (NaN) value, and 0 otherwise.

The isnan() functions return a non-zero value if x is a NaN value, and 0 otherwise.

The isinf() functions return 1 if x is plus infinity, -1 is x is minus infinity, and 0 otherwise.

NOTE

Note that these functions are obsolete. C99 defines macros isfinite(), isinf() and isnan() (for all types) replacing them. Further note that the C99 isinf() has weaker guarantees on the return value. See fpclassify(3).

AVAILABILITY

On a glibc system, these functions are declared by <math.h> when _BSD_SOURCE or _SVID_SOURCE or _GNU_SOURCE is defined. The isnan() functions will also be declared when _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined.

HISTORY

The finite() function occurs in 4.3BSD.
