+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions return a representation (determined by
+.IR tagp )
+of a quiet NaN.
+If the implementation does not support
+quiet NaNs, these functions return zero.
+.P
+The call
+.I nan("char\-sequence")
+is equivalent to:
+.P
+.in +4n
+.EX
+strtod("NAN(char\-sequence)", NULL);
+.EE
+.in
+.P
+Similarly, calls to
+.BR nanf ()
+and
+.BR nanl ()
+are equivalent to analogous calls to
+.BR strtof (3)
+and
+.BR strtold (3).
+.P
+The argument
+.I tagp
+is used in an unspecified manner.
+On IEEE 754 systems, there are many representations of NaN, and
+.I tagp
+selects one.
+On other systems it may do nothing.
