DESCRIPTION
These functions return a representation (determined by
tagp)
of a quiet NaN.
If the implementation does not support
quiet NaNs, these functions return zero.
The call
nan(char-sequence)
is equivalent to:
strtod("NAN(char-sequence)", NULL);
Similarly, calls to
nanf()
and
nanl()
are equivalent to analogous calls to
strtof(3)
and
strtold(3).
The argument
tagp
is used in an unspecified manner.
On IEEE 754 systems, there are many representations of NaN, and
tagp
selects one.
On other systems it may do nothing.
VERSIONS
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
CONFORMING TO
C99, POSIX.1-2001.
