.Sh SYNOPSIS

.In math.h

.Ft int
|
|
.Fn isinf "real-floating x"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn isinf
|
|
macro determines whether its argument
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
is an infinity (positive or negative).
|
|
An argument represented in a format wider than its semantic type is
|
|
converted to its semantic type first.
|
|
The determination is then based on the type of the argument.
|
|
.Ss IEEE 754
|
|
It is determined whether the value of
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
is an infinity.
|
|
.Ss VAX
|
|
Infinities are not supported.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn isinf
|
|
macro returns a non-zero value if the value of
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
is an infinity.
|
|
Otherwise 0 is returned.
