ISINF(3) OpenBSD Programmer's Manual ISINF(3)
NAME
isinf, isinff, isnan, isnanf - test for infinity or not-a-number
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
int
isinf(double n);
int
isinff(float n);
int
isnan(double n);
int
isnanf(float n);
DESCRIPTION
The isinf() and isinff() functions returns 1 if the number n is infinity,
otherwise 0.
The isnan() and isnanf() functions returns 1 if the number n is ``not-a-
number'', otherwise 0.
SEE ALSO

IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic, Std 754-1985, ANSI.
BUGS
Neither the VAX nor the Tahoe floating point have distinguished values
for either infinity or not-a-number. These routines always return 0 on
those architectures.
