COPYSIGN(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual COPYSIGN(3P)PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
copysign, copysignf, copysignl - number manipulation function
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double copysign(double x, double y);
float copysignf(float x, float y);
long double copysignl(long double x, long double y);
DESCRIPTION
These functions shall produce a value with the magnitude of x and the
sign of y. On implementations that represent a signed zero but do not
treat negative zero consistently in arithmetic operations, these func‐
tions regard the sign of zero as positive.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return a value with
the magnitude of x and the sign of y.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
