isnan():

    _XOPEN_SOURCE || _ISOC99_SOURCE


        || /* glibc >= 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE


        || /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

isnanf(), isnanl():

    _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600

        || /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION¶

The finite(), finitef(), and finitel() functions return a nonzero value if x is neither infinite nor a "not-a-number" (NaN) value, and 0 otherwise.

The isnan(), isnanf(), and isnanl() functions return a nonzero value if x is a NaN value, and 0 otherwise.

The isinf(), isinff(), and isinfl() functions return 1 if x is positive infinity, -1 if x is negative infinity, and 0 otherwise.

ATTRIBUTES¶

For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).

NOTES¶

Note that these functions are obsolete. C99 defines macros isfinite(), isinf(), and isnan() (for all types) replacing them. Further note that the C99 isinf() has weaker guarantees on the return value. See fpclassify(3).
