NAME

       fpclassify - classify real floating type

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       int fpclassify(real-floating x);

DESCRIPTION

       The  fpclassify()  macro  shall  classify  its  argument  value as NaN,
       infinite, normal, subnormal,  zero,  or  into  another  implementation-
       defined category. First, an argument represented in a format wider than
       its  semantic  type  is  converted   to   its   semantic   type.   Then
       classification is based on the type of the argument.

RETURN VALUE

       The   fpclassify()   macro   shall  return  the  value  of  the  number
       classification macro appropriate to the value of its argument.
