NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

   #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(), finitef(), and finitel() functions return a nonzero value
   if  x  is  neither  infinite  nor  a  "not-a-number" (NaN) value, and 0
   otherwise.

   The isnan(), isnanf(), and isnanl() functions return a nonzero value if
   x is a NaN value, and 0 otherwise.

   The isinf(), isinff(), and isinfl() functions return 1 if x is positive
   infinity, -1 if x is negative infinity, and 0 otherwise.

NOTES

   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).
