\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fIisnan\fP() macro shall determine whether its argument value
is a NaN. First, an argument represented in a format wider
than its semantic type is converted to its semantic type. Then determination
is based on the type of the argument.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
The \fIisnan\fP() macro shall return a non-zero value if and only
if its argument has a NaN value.
.SH ERRORS

No errors are defined.
