.SH NAME
copysign, copysignf, copysignl \- number manipulation function
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
\fB#include <math.h>
.br
.sp
double copysign(double\fP \fIx\fP\fB, double\fP \fIy\fP\fB);
.br
float copysignf(float\fP \fIx\fP\fB, float\fP \fIy\fP\fB);
.br
long double copysignl(long double\fP \fIx\fP\fB, long double\fP \fIy\fP\fB);
.br
\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
These functions shall produce a value with the magnitude of \fIx\fP
and the sign of \fIy\fP. On implementations that represent
a signed zero but do not treat negative zero consistently in arithmetic
operations, these functions regard the sign of zero as
positive.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return a value with
the magnitude of \fIx\fP and the sign of \fIy\fP.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
No errors are defined.
.LP
\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
.SH EXAMPLES
