NAME
signbit - test sign of a real floating-point numberSYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>int signbit(x);
Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
signbit(): _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE; or cc -std=c99
DESCRIPTION
signbit() is a generic macro which can work on all real floating-point types. It returns a non-zero value if the value of x has its sign bit set.This is not the same as x < 0.0, because IEEE 754 floating point allows zero to be signed. The comparison -0.0 < 0.0 is false, but signbit(-0.0) will return a non-zero value.
NaNs and infinities have a sign bit.
RETURN VALUE
The signbit() macro returns non-zero if the sign of x is negative; otherwise it returns zero.ERRORS
No errors occur.CONFORMING TO
C99, POSIX.1-2001. This function is defined in IEC 559 (and the appendix with recommended functions in IEEE 754/IEEE 854).SEE ALSO
