  25.      These routines are not available for programs compiled with the O32 ABI.
  26.  
  27.      Functions in the standard math library (_llll_iiii_bbbb_mmmm_...._aaaa) are referred to as _----_llll_mmmm
  28.      versions. Those in mathx library (_llll_iiii_bbbb_mmmm_xxxx_...._aaaa) are referred to as _----_llll_mmmm_xxxx
  29.      versions, and those in the the BSD math library (_llll_iiii_bbbb_mmmm_4444_3333_...._aaaa) are referred
  30.      to as _----_llll_mmmm_4444_3333 versions.
  31.  
  32.      These macros are quiet (non floating-point exception raising) versions of
  33.      the relational operators. _dddd_oooo_uuuu_bbbb_llll_eeee in the synopsis lines indicates that the
  34.      argument shall be an expression of real floating type.
  35.  
  36.      The _iiii_ssss_gggg_rrrr_eeee_aaaa_tttt_eeee_rrrr macro determines if its first argument is greater than its
  37.      second argument.
  38.  
  39.      The _iiii_ssss_gggg_rrrr_eeee_aaaa_tttt_eeee_rrrr_eeee_qqqq_uuuu_aaaa_llll macro determines if its first argument is greater than
  40.      or equal to its second argument.
  41.  
  42.      The _iiii_ssss_llll_eeee_ssss_ssss macro determines if its first argument is less than its second
  43.      argument.
  44.  
  45.      The _iiii_ssss_llll_eeee_ssss_ssss_eeee_qqqq_uuuu_aaaa_llll macro determines if its first argument is less than or
  46.      equal to its second argument.
  47.  
  48.      The _iiii_ssss_llll_eeee_ssss_ssss_gggg_rrrr_eeee_aaaa_tttt_eeee_rrrr macro determines if its first argument is less than or
  49.      greater than its second argument.
  50.  
  51.      The _ssss_iiii_gggg_nnnn_bbbb_iiii_tttt macro determines if the sign of its argument value is
  52.      negative.
  53.  
  54.      These macros are implemented in terms of ordinary functions depending on
  55.      the argument used; for example, if _x is a float value, the macro is
  56.      redefined as _iiii_ssss_gggg_rrrr_eeee_aaaa_tttt_eeee_rrrr_ffff.  If _x is double, the macro is redefined as
  57.      _iiii_ssss_gggg_rrrr_eeee_aaaa_tttt_eeee_rrrr.  If _x is long double, the macro is redefined as _iiii_ssss_gggg_rrrr_eeee_aaaa_tttt_eeee_rrrr_llll.

  75.      Long double operations on this system are only supported in round to
  76.      nearest rounding mode (the default).  The system must be in round to
  77.      nearest rounding mode when calling any of the long double functions, or
  78.      incorrect answers will result.

  81.      The _----_llll_mmmm and _----_llll_mmmm_xxxx versions always return the default Quiet NaN and set
  82.      _eeee_rrrr_rrrr_nnnn_oooo to EDOM when a NaN is used as an argument.  A NaN argument usually
  83.      causes the _----_llll_mmmm_4444_3333 versions to return the same argument.  The _----_llll_mmmm_4444_3333
  84.      versions never set _eeee_rrrr_rrrr_nnnn_oooo.
  85.  
  86.      See _mmmm_aaaa_tttt_hhhh_eeee_rrrr_rrrr(3M) for a description of error handling for _----_llll_mmmm_xxxx functions.
