Sh SYNOPSIS
In math.h
Ft int
Fn fpclassify "real-floating x"
Sh DESCRIPTION
The
Fn fpclassify
macro performs classification of its argument
Fa x .
An argument represented in a format wider than its semantic type is
converted to its semantic type first.
The classification is then based on the type of the argument.
