+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Floating point numbers can have special values, such as
+infinite or NaN.
+With the macro
+.BI fpclassify( x )
+you can find out what type
+.I x
+is.
+The macro takes any floating-point expression as argument.
+The result is one of the following values:
+.TP 14
+.B FP_NAN
+.I x
+is "Not a Number".
+.TP
+.B FP_INFINITE
+.I x
+is either positive infinity or negative infinity.
+.TP
+.B FP_ZERO
+.I x
+is zero.
+.TP
+.B FP_SUBNORMAL
+.I x
+is too small to be represented in normalized format.
+.TP
+.B FP_NORMAL
+if nothing of the above is correct then it must be a
+normal floating-point number.
+.PP
+The other macros provide a short answer to some standard questions.
+.TP 14
+.BI isfinite( x )
+returns a nonzero value if
+.br
+(fpclassify(x) != FP_NAN && fpclassify(x) != FP_INFINITE)
+.TP
+.BI isnormal( x )
+returns a nonzero value if
+(fpclassify(x) == FP_NORMAL)
+.TP
+.BI isnan( x )
+returns a nonzero value if
+(fpclassify(x) == FP_NAN)
+.TP
+.BI isinf( x )
+returns 1 if
+.I x
+is positive infinity, and \-1 if
+.I x
+is negative infinity.

+.SH STANDARDS
+C11, POSIX.1-2008.
+.SH HISTORY
+POSIX.1-2001, C99.
+.PP
+In glibc 2.01 and earlier,
+.BR isinf ()
+returns a nonzero value (actually: 1) if
+.I x
+is positive infinity or negative infinity.
+(This is all that C99 requires.)
+.SH NOTES
+For
+.BR isinf (),
+the standards merely say that the return value is nonzero
+if and only if the argument has an infinite value.
