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.

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.
