isinf — test for infinity

#include <math.h>

int isinf(real-floating x);

The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”) defers to the ISO C standard.

The isinf () macro shall determine whether its argument value is an infinity (positive or negative). 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.

The isinf () macro shall return a non-zero value if and only if its argument has an infinite value.

No errors are defined.
