.SH DESCRIPTION
15
.LP
16
The \fIisnan\fP() macro shall determine whether its argument value
17
is a NaN. First, an argument represented in a format wider
18
than its semantic type is converted to its semantic type. Then determination
19
is based on the type of the argument.
20
.SH RETURN VALUE
21

22
The \fIisnan\fP() macro shall return a non-zero value if and only

if its argument has a NaN value.
