.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR finite (),
.BR finitef (),
and
.BR finitel ()
functions return a nonzero value if
.I x
is neither infinite
nor a "not-a-number" (NaN) value, and 0 otherwise.
.P
The
.BR isnan (),
.BR isnanf (),
and
.BR isnanl ()
functions return a nonzero value if
.I x
is a NaN value,
and 0 otherwise.
.P
The
.BR isinf (),
.BR isinff (),
and
.BR isinfl ()
functions return 1 if
.I x
is positive infinity, \-1 if
.I x
is negative infinity, and 0 otherwise.

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

.BR fpclassify (3).
