copysign(3)              BSD Library Functions Manual              copysign(3)


NAME

     copysign -- changes the sign of x to that of y


SYNOPSIS

     #include <math.h>

     double
     copysign(double x, double y);

     long double
     copysignl(long double x, long double y);

     float
     copysignf(float x, float y);


DESCRIPTION

     The copysign() functions return x with its sign changed to y's.


SPECIAL VALUES

     copysign(x, y) returns a NaN (with y's sign) if x is a NaN.


VECTOR OPERATIONS

     If you need to apply the copysign() functions to SIMD vectors or arrays,
     using the following functions provided by the Accelerate.framework may
     give significantly better performance:

     #include <Accelerate/Accelerate.h>

     vFloat vcopysignf(vFloat x, vFloat y);
     void vvcopysignf(float *z, const float *y, const float *x, const int *n);
     void vvcopysign(double *z, const double *y, const double *x, const int
     *n);


STANDARDS

     The copysign() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:2011.
