COPYSIGN(3P)               POSIX Programmer's Manual              COPYSIGN(3P)

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
       copysign, copysignf, copysignl - number manipulation function
SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>
       double copysign(double x, double y);
       float copysignf(float x, float y);
       long double copysignl(long double x, long double y);

DESCRIPTION
       These functions shall produce a value with the magnitude of x  and  the
       sign  of  y. On implementations that represent a signed zero but do not
       treat negative zero consistently in arithmetic operations, these  func-
       tions regard the sign of zero as positive.
RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful  completion, these functions shall return a value with
       the magnitude of x and the sign of y.
ERRORS
       No errors are defined.
       The following sections are informative.

APPLICATION USAGE
       None.
RATIONALE
       None.
