.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
The \fIisfinite\fP() macro shall determine whether its argument has
|
|
|
|
a finite value (zero, subnormal, or normal, and not
|
|
|
|
infinite or NaN). First, an argument represented in a format wider
|
|
|
|
than its semantic type is converted to its semantic type. Then
|
|
|
|
determination is based on the type of the argument.
|
|
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
|
|
The \fIisfinite\fP() macro shall return a non-zero value if and only
|
|
|
|
if its argument has a finite value.
|
