SIGNBIT(3) Linux Programmer's Manual SIGNBIT(3)
signbit - test sign of a real floating-point number
#include <math.h>
int signbit(x);
Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
signbit():
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
signbit() is a generic macro which can work on all real floating-
point types. It returns a nonzero 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 nonzero value.
NaNs and infinities have a sign bit.
The signbit() macro returns nonzero if the sign of x is negative;
otherwise it returns zero.
No errors occur.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).
