<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<B>signbit</B>()
is a generic macro which can work on all real floating-point types.
It returns a nonzero value if the value of
<I>x</I>
has its sign bit set.
<P>
This is not the same as
<I>x &lt; 0.0</I>,
because IEEE 754 floating point allows zero to be signed.
The comparison
<I>-0.0 &lt; 0.0</I>
is false, but
<I>signbit(-0.0)</I>
will return a nonzero value.
<P>
NaNs and infinities have a sign bit.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
The
<B>signbit</B>()
macro returns nonzero if the sign of
<I>x</I>
is negative; otherwise it returns zero.
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>ERRORS</H2>
No errors occur.
