NAME
       values - machine-dependent values

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
       This  file  contains a set of manifest constants, conditionally defined
       for particular processor architectures.

       The model assumed for integers is binary representation (one's or two's
       complement),  where  the	 sign is represented by the value of the high-
       order bit.

	      The number of bits in a specified type (e.g., int).

	      The value of a short integer with only the high-order bit set
			     (in most implementations, 0x8000).

	      The value of a long integer with only the high-order bit set
			     (in most implementations, 0x80000000).

	      The value of a regular integer with only the high-order bit set
			     (usually the same as or

	      The maximum value of a signed short integer
			     (in most implementations, 0x7FFF ≡ 32767).

	      The maximum value of a signed long integer
			     (in   most	   implementations,    0x7FFFFFFF    ≡
			     2147483647).

	      The maximum value of a signed regular integer
			     (usually the same as or

	      The maximum value of a single-precision floating-point number,
			     and its natural logarithm.

	      The maximum value of a double-precision floating-point number,
			     and its natural logarithm.

	      The  minimum positive value of a single-precision floating-point
	      number,
			     and its natural logarithm.

	      The minimum positive value of a double-precision	floating-point
	      number,
			     and its natural logarithm.

	      The  number of significant bits in the mantissa of a single-pre‐
	      cision
			     floating-point number.

	      The number of significant bits in the mantissa of a  double-pre‐
	      cision
			     floating-point number.
