  floating point classification functions

#include <math.h>
 
int finite(double x);
 
int finitef(float x);
 
int finitel(long double x);
 
int isinf(double x);
 
int isinff(float x);
 
int isinfl(long double x);
 
int isnan(double x);
 
int isnanf(float x);
 
int isnanl(long double x);
The 
finite functions return a non-zero value if 
x is neither
  infinite nor a "not-a-number" (NaN) value, and 0 otherwise.
 
The 
isnan functions return a non-zero value if 
x is a NaN value,
  and 0 otherwise.
 
The 
isinf functions return 1 if 
x is plus infinity, -1 is 
x
  is minus infinity, and 0 otherwise.
 
Note that these functions are obsolete. C99 defines macros isfinite(), isinf()
  and isnan() (for all types) replacing them. Further note that the C99 isinf()
  has weaker guarantees on the return value. See 
fpclassify(3).
On a glibc system, these functions are declared by 
<math.h> when
  _BSD_SOURCE or _SVID_SOURCE or _GNU_SOURCE is defined. The isnan() functions
  will also be declared when _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined.
The 
finite function occurs in BSD 4.3.
