copysignl: number manipulation function
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 functions 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.
