NAME
       math.h - mathematical declarations
SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>
DESCRIPTION
       Some  of the functionality described on this reference page extends the
       ISO C standard. Applications shall define the appropriate feature  test
       macro  (see  the System Interfaces volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Sec-
       tion 2.2, The Compilation Environment)  to  enable  the  visibility  of
       these symbols in this header.
       The  <math.h> header shall include definitions for at least the follow-
       ing types:
       float_t
              A real-floating type at least as wide as float.
       double_t
              A real-floating type at least as wide as double, and at least as
              wide as float_t.

       If  FLT_EVAL_METHOD  equals  0, float_t and double_t shall be float and
       double, respectively; if FLT_EVAL_METHOD equals 1, they shall  both  be
       double;  if  FLT_EVAL_METHOD  equals 2, they shall both be long double;
       for other values of FLT_EVAL_METHOD, they are otherwise implementation-
       defined.
       The  <math.h>  header  shall  define  the following macros, where real-
       floating indicates that the argument shall be an  expression  of  real-
       floating type:

              int fpclassify(real-floating x);
              int isfinite(real-floating x);
              int isinf(real-floating x);
              int isnan(real-floating x);
              int isnormal(real-floating x);
              int signbit(real-floating x);
              int isgreater(real-floating x, real-floating y);
              int isgreaterequal(real-floating x, real-floating y);
              int isless(real-floating x, real-floating y);
              int islessequal(real-floating x, real-floating y);
              int islessgreater(real-floating x, real-floating y);
              int isunordered(real-floating x, real-floating y);
       The  <math.h>  header  shall  provide for the following constants.  The
       values are of type double and are accurate within the precision of  the
       double type.
       M_E    Value of e
       M_LOG2E
              Value of log_2e
       M_LOG10E
              Value of log_10e
       M_LN2  Value of log_e2
       M_LN10 Value of log_e10
       M_PI   Value of pi
       M_PI_2 Value of pi/2
       M_PI_4 Value of pi/4
       M_1_PI Value of 1/pi
       M_2_PI Value of 2/pi
       M_2_SQRTPI
              Value of 2/ sqrt pi
       M_SQRT2
              Value of sqrt 2
       M_SQRT1_2
              Value of 1/sqrt 2

       The header shall define the following symbolic constants:
       MAXFLOAT
              Value  of  maximum  non-infinite single-precision floating-point
              number.
       HUGE_VAL
              A positive double expression, not necessarily representable as a
              float.  Used  as  an  error  value  returned  by the mathematics
              library. HUGE_VAL evaluates to +infinity on  systems  supporting
              IEEE Std 754-1985.
       HUGE_VALF
              A  positive  float  constant  expression. Used as an error value
              returned by the  mathematics  library.  HUGE_VALF  evaluates  to
              +infinity on systems supporting IEEE Std 754-1985.
       HUGE_VALL
              A  positive  long  double  constant expression. Used as an error
              value returned by the mathematics library.  HUGE_VALL  evaluates
              to +infinity on systems supporting IEEE Std 754-1985.
       INFINITY
              A  constant  expression  of  type float representing positive or
              unsigned infinity, if available; else  a  positive  constant  of
              type float that overflows at translation time.
       NAN    A  constant  expression  of type float representing a quiet NaN.
              This symbolic constant is only  defined  if  the  implementation
              supports quiet NaNs for the float type.

       The  following  macros shall be defined for number classification. They
       represent the mutually-exclusive kinds of floating-point  values.  They
       expand to integer constant expressions with distinct values. Additional
       implementation-defined floating-point classifications, with macro defi-
       nitions  beginning with FP_ and an uppercase letter, may also be speci-
       fied by the implementation.

              FP_INFINITE
              FP_NAN
              FP_NORMAL
              FP_SUBNORMAL
              FP_ZERO
       The following optional macros indicate  whether  the  fma()  family  of
       functions are fast compared with direct code:

              FP_FAST_FMA
              FP_FAST_FMAF
              FP_FAST_FMAL
       The FP_FAST_FMA macro shall be defined to indicate that the fma() func-
       tion generally executes about as fast as, or faster  than,  a  multiply
       and  an  add  of  double operands. The other macros have the equivalent
       meaning for the float and long double versions.
       The following macros shall expand to integer constant expressions whose
       values are returned by ilogb( x) if x is zero or NaN, respectively. The
       value of FP_ILOGB0 shall be either {INT_MIN} or - {INT_MAX}. The  value
       of FP_ILOGBNAN shall be either {INT_MAX} or {INT_MIN}.

              FP_ILOGB0
              FP_ILOGBNAN
       The  following  macros  shall  expand to the integer constants 1 and 2,
       respectively;

              MATH_ERRNO
              MATH_ERREXCEPT
       The following macro shall expand to an expression that has type int and
       the  value  MATH_ERRNO,  MATH_ERREXCEPT, or the bitwise-inclusive OR of
       both:

              math_errhandling
       The value of math_errhandling is constant for the duration of the  pro-
       gram. It is unspecified whether math_errhandling is a macro or an iden-
       tifier with external linkage. If a macro definition is suppressed or  a
       program  defines  an  identifier  with  the  name math_errhandling, the
       behavior  is  undefined.  If   the   expression   (math_errhandling   &
       MATH_ERREXCEPT)  can  be  non-zero, the implementation shall define the
       macros FE_DIVBYZERO, FE_INVALID, and FE_OVERFLOW in <fenv.h>.
       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
       macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

       The following external variable shall be defined:

              extern int signgam;

       The  behavior of each of the functions defined in <math.h> is specified
       in the System Interfaces volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 for all  repre-
       sentable  values of its input arguments, except where stated otherwise.
       Each function shall execute as if it were a  single  operation  without
       generating any externally visible exceptional conditions.
       The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
       The  FP_CONTRACT  pragma  can  be used to allow (if the state is on) or
       disallow (if the state is off) the implementation to  contract  expres-
       sions.  Each  pragma  can occur either outside external declarations or
       preceding all explicit declarations and statements  inside  a  compound
       statement.  When outside external declarations, the pragma takes effect
       from its occurrence until another FP_CONTRACT pragma is encountered, or
       until  the  end  of the translation unit. When inside a compound state-
       ment, the pragma takes effect from its occurrence until another FP_CON-
       TRACT  pragma is encountered (including within a nested compound state-
       ment), or until the end of the compound statement; at the end of a com-
       pound  statement  the state for the pragma is restored to its condition
       just before the compound statement. If this pragma is used in any other
       context,  the  behavior is undefined. The default state (on or off) for
       the pragma is implementation-defined.
RATIONALE
       Before the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 standard, the  math  library  was  defined
       only  for  the  floating type double. All the names formed by appending
       'f' or 'l' to a name in <math.h> were reserved to allow for the defini-
       tion  of  float  and  long  double libraries; and the ISO/IEC 9899:1999
       standard provides for all three versions of math functions.
       The functions ecvt(), fcvt(), and gcvt() have  been  dropped  from  the
       ISO C  standard  since their capability is available through sprintf().
       These are provided on  XSI-conformant  systems  supporting  the  Legacy
       Option Group.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
