STANDARDS
       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry	 stan‐
       dards as follows:

       isnan():	 XPG4

       nextafter():  XPG4-UNIX

       Refer  to  the  standards(5)  reference page for more information about
       industry standards and associated tags.

DESCRIPTION
       The copysign(), copysignf(), and copysignl() functions  return  x  with
       the same sign as y. IEEE 754 requires copysign(x,NaN), copysignf(x,NaN)
       and copysignl(x,NaN) to return +x or -x.

       The finite(), finitef(), and finitel()  functions  return  the  integer
       value  1	 (True)	 or  0 (False).	 The finite(x), finitef(x),  and fini‐
       tel(x) functions return 1 when -infinity < x< +infinity. They return  0
       when |x| = infinity or x is a NaN.

       The  fp_class(),	 fp_classf(),  and fp_classl() functions determine the
       class of an IEEE floating-point value. They return one of the constants
       in the file <fp_class.h> and never cause an exception, even for signal‐
       ing NaNs. These routines implement the recommended function class(x) in
       the  appendix  of  the IEEE 754-1985 standard for binary floating-point
       arithmetic. The	constants  in  <fp_class.h>  refer  to	the  following
       classes of values:

       ─────────────────────────────────────────────
       Constant	       Class
       ─────────────────────────────────────────────
       FP_SNAN	       Signaling NaN (Not-a-Number)
       FP_QNAN	       Quiet NaN (Not-a-Number)
       FP_POS_INF      +infinity
       FP_NEG_INF      -infinity
       FP_POS_NORM     Positive normalized
       FP_NEG_NORM     Negative normalized
       FP_POS_DENORM   Positive denormalized
       FP_NEG_DENORM   Negative denormalized
       FP_POS_ZERO     +0.0 (positive zero)
       FP_NEG_ZERO     -0.0 (negative zero)
       ─────────────────────────────────────────────

       The isnan(), isnanf(), and isnanl() functions return the value 1 (True)
       if x is NaN (the IEEE floating point reserved not-a-number value); oth‐
       erwise, it returns the value 0 (False).

       The  nextafter(),  nextafterf(),	 and nextafterl() functions return the
       next machine-representable number from x in the direction of y.

       The unordered(), unorderedf(), and unorderedl()	functions  return  the
       value 1 (True) if either x or y or both is a NaN; otherwise, it returns
       the value 0 (False).
