+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.BR signbit ()
+is a generic macro which can work on all real floating-point types.
+It returns a nonzero value if the value of
+.I x
+has its sign bit set.
+.P
+This is not the same as
+.IR "x < 0.0" ,
+because IEEE 754 floating point allows zero to be signed.
+The comparison
+.I \-0.0\~<\~0.0
+is false, but
+.I signbit(\-0.0)
+will return a nonzero value.
+.P
+NaNs and infinities have a sign bit.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR signbit ()
+macro returns nonzero if the sign of
+.I x
+is negative; otherwise it returns zero.
+.SH ERRORS
+No errors occur.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
