NAME
isinf() - floating-point test for infinity
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
int isinf(
floating-type x);
DESCRIPTION
The isinf() macro determines whether its argument value is an infinity. The macro can be used with
either double or float arguments.
The ISO/ANSI C committee has approved the isinf() macro for inclusion in the C9X draft standard.
To use this macro, compile either with the default -Ae option or with the -Aa and -D_HPUX_SOURCE
options. Make sure your program includes <math.h>. Link in the math library by specifying -lm on the
compiler or linker command line.
The isinf() macro replaces the isinf() and isinff() functions, which are obsolete and are no
longer supported.
RETURN VALUE
The isinf() macro returns a nonzero value if x is ±INFINITY. Otherwise it returns zero.
EXAMPLE
Take certain actions if x is infinity:
#include <math.h>
/*...*/
float x;
/*...*/
if (isinf(x))
/*...*/
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
