-.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.
-.PP
-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.
-.PP
-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.
