NAME
     isinff, isnanf - test for infinity or not-a-number

LIBRARY
     Math Library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <math.h>

     int
     isinff(float);

     int
     isnanf(float);

     IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic, Std 754-1985, ANSI.

BUGS
     Neither the VAX nor the Tahoe floating point have distinguished values
     for either infinity or not-a-number.  These routines always return 0 on
     those architectures.
