-.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.
-.P
-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.
-.P
-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.
