42*2fe8fb19SBen Gras.Sh DESCRIPTION
43*2fe8fb19SBen GrasThe
44*2fe8fb19SBen Gras.Fn fpclassify
45*2fe8fb19SBen Grasmacro performs classification of its argument
46*2fe8fb19SBen Gras.Fa x .
47*2fe8fb19SBen GrasAn argument represented in a format wider than its semantic type is
48*2fe8fb19SBen Grasconverted to its semantic type first.
49*2fe8fb19SBen GrasThe classification is then based on the type of the argument.
