Description
The finite(), finitef(), and finitel() functions return a nonzero value if x is neither infinite nor a
"not-a-number" (NaN) value, and 0 otherwise.
The isnan(), isnanf(), and isnanl() functions return a nonzero value if x is a NaN value, and 0
otherwise.
The isinf(), isinff(), and isinfl() functions return 1 if x is positive infinity, -1 if x is negative
infinity, and 0 otherwise.
Library
Math library (libm, -lm)
Name
finite, finitef, finitel, isinf, isinff, isinfl, isnan, isnanf, isnanl - BSD floating-point
classification functions
Notes
Note that these functions are obsolete. C99 defines macros isfinite(), isinf(), and isnan() (for all
types) replacing them. Further note that the C99 isinf() has weaker guarantees on the return value. See
fpclassify(3).
