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.
