NAME

       isnan - test for a NaN

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       int isnan(real-floating x);

DESCRIPTION

       The  isnan() macro shall determine whether its argument value is a NaN.
       First, an argument represented in a format wider than its semantic type
       is  converted  to its semantic type. Then determination is based on the
       type of the argument.

RETURN VALUE

       The isnan() macro shall return a non-zero value  if  and  only  if  its
       argument has a NaN value.
