NAME

isinf — test for infinity

LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h>

int
isinf(real-floating x);

DESCRIPTION

The isinf() macro determines whether its argument 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.

RETURN VALUES

The isinf() macro returns a non-zero value if the value of x is an infinity. Otherwise 0 is returned.
