.Dd September 28, 2017 .Dt COPYSIGN 3 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm copysign , .Nm copysignf , .Nm copysignl .Nd functions to manipulate signs .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libm .Sh SYNOPSIS n math.h .Ft double .Fn copysign "double x" "double y" .Ft float .Fn copysignf "float x" "float y" .Ft long double .Fn copysignl "long double x" "long double y" n tgmath.h .Ft real-floating .Fn copysign "real-floating x" "real-floating y" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn copysign , .Fn copysignf , and .Fn copysignl functions return a value whose absolute value matches .Fa x , but whose sign bit is taken from .Fa y . .Sh RETURN VALUES Upon successful completion, all three functions return a value with the magnitude of .Fa x and the sign of .Fa y . If .Fa x is \*(Na , the functions return a \*(Na with the sign of .Fa y . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr math 3 , .Xr signbit 3 .Sh STANDARDS The described functions conform to .St -isoC-99 .
XXX: Verify this.

The functions are also recommended by
.St -ieee754

.Sh HISTORY

XXX: Fill this.

These functions first appeared in ???.

.Sh CAVEATS Note that on implementations that represent a signed zero but do not treat negative zero consistently in arithmetic operations, these functions may regard the sign of zero as positive.
