float(4) OSS System Calls Reference Manual
NAME
float - Specifies the system limits for floating-point operations
SYNOPSIS
#include <float.h>
DESCRIPTION
The float.h header file defines symbolic names. These symbolic names represent floating-point
values for the two possible floating-point formats that a program can use. The floating-point for-
mat is chosen at compilation time.
See the float.h header file for the actual values of these limits in the HP implementation.
The values shown in the following table depend on whether the process is using Tandem-format
floating-point data (using the -WTandem_float c89 compiler flag or equivalent) or is using IEEE
floating-point data (using the -WIEEE_float c89 compiler flag or equivalent).
