       int isinf(double x);
       int isinff(float x);
       int isinfl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION

       The finite(), finitef(), and finitel() functions return a nonzero value if  x  is  neither
       infinite nor a "not-a-number" (NaN) value, and 0 otherwise.

       The  isnan(), isnanf(), and isnanl() functions return a nonzero value if x is a NaN value,
       and 0 otherwise.

       The isinf(), isinff(), and isinfl() functions return 1 if x is positive infinity, -1 if  x
       is negative infinity, and 0 otherwise.

NOTES

       Note  that  these  functions  are  obsolete.   C99 defines macros isfinite(), isinf(), and
       isnan() (for all types) replacing them.  Further note that  the  C99  isinf()  has  weaker
       guarantees on the return value.  See fpclassify(3).
