.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions provide information about the specified floating point number 
\fIx\fP. fpclassify returns one of the values FP_INFINITE, FP_NAN, FP_NORMAL,
FP_SUBNORMAL and FP_ZERO depending on the type of number provided. The isinf,
isinf, isnan and isnormal test for specific number classes, returning a 
non-zero value is and only if the specified number belongs to the class 
specified by the function name. The signbit function returns a non-zero value
if and only if the sign bit is set, which for non-NaN values (including zero)
means that the number is negative.
