.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions return a value whose absolute value matches that of
|
|
.IR x ,
|
|
but whose sign bit matches that of
|
|
.IR y .
|
|
|
|
For example,
|
|
.I "copysign(42.0,\ \-1.0)"
|
|
and
|
|
.I "copysign(\-42.0, \-1.0)"
|
|
both return \-42.0.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
On success, these functions return a value whose magnitude is taken from
|
|
.I x
|
|
and whose sign is taken from
|
|
.IR y .
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
.I x
|
|
is a NaN,
|
|
a NaN with the sign bit of
|
|
.I y
|
|
is returned.
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
No errors occur.

This function is defined in IEC 559 (and the appendix with
|
|
recommended functions in IEEE 754/IEEE 854).
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
On architectures where the floating-point formats are not IEEE 754 compliant,
|
|
these
|
|
functions may treat a negative zero as positive.
