.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.
|
|
.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.

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn isinf
|
|
macro conforms to
|
|
.St -isoC-99 .
|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
On VAX the
|
|
.Fn isinf
|
|
function always returns 0,
|
|
as the architecture doesn't have a representation for infinity.
