+.SH NAME
+isfinite \- test for finite value
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <math.h>
+.br
+.sp
+int isfinite(real-floating\fP \fIx\fP\fB);
+.br
+\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIisfinite\fP() macro shall determine whether its argument has
+a finite value (zero, subnormal, or normal, and not
+infinite or NaN). First, an argument represented in a format wider
+than its semantic type is converted to its semantic type. Then
+determination is based on the type of the argument.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+The \fIisfinite\fP() macro shall return a non-zero value if and only
+if its argument has a finite value.
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+No errors are defined.
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP

+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
+.LP
+None.
+.SH RATIONALE
