+.SH PROLOG
+This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
+The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
+the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
+or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

+.SH NAME
+islessgreater
+\(em test if x is less than or greater than y
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <math.h>
+.P
+int islessgreater(real-floating \fIx\fP, real-floating \fIy\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
+ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
+ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+The
+\fIislessgreater\fR()
+macro shall determine whether its first argument is less than or
+greater than its second argument. The
+.IR islessgreater (\c
+.IR x ,
+.IR y )
+macro is similar to
+(\fIx\fR)\ <\ (\fIy\fR)\ ||\ (\fIx\fR)\ >\ (\fIy\fR); however,
+.IR islessgreater (\c
+.IR x ,
+.IR y )
+shall not raise the invalid floating-point exception when
+.IR x
+and
+.IR y
+are unordered (nor shall it evaluate
+.IR x
+and
+.IR y
+twice).
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+Upon successful completion, the
+\fIislessgreater\fR()
+macro shall return the value of
+(\fIx\fR)\ <\ (\fIy\fR)\ ||\ (\fIx\fR)\ >\ (\fIy\fR).
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+or
+.IR y
+is NaN, 0 shall be returned.
+.SH ERRORS
+No errors are defined.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+The relational and equality operators support the usual mathematical
+relationships between numeric values. For any ordered pair of numeric
+values, exactly one of the relationships (less, greater, and equal) is
+true. Relational operators may raise the invalid floating-point
+exception when argument values are NaNs. For a NaN and a numeric value,
+or for two NaNs, just the unordered relationship is true. This macro
+is a quiet (non-floating-point exception raising) version of a
+relational operator. It facilitates writing efficient code that
+accounts for NaNs without suffering the invalid floating-point
+exception. In the SYNOPSIS section,
+.BR real-floating
+indicates that the argument shall be an expression of
+.BR real-floating
+type.
+.SH RATIONALE
+None.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
