PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
       isfinite - test for finite value
SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>
       int isfinite(real-floating x);

DESCRIPTION
       The isfinite() macro shall determine whether its argument has a  finite
       value  (zero, subnormal, or normal, and not infinite or NaN). First, an
       argument represented in a format wider than its semantic type  is  con-
       verted to its semantic type. Then determination is based on the type of
       the argument.
RETURN VALUE
       The isfinite() macro shall return a non-zero value if and only  if  its
       argument has a finite value.
ERRORS
