+.Ft double
+.Fn copysign "double x" "double y"
+.Ft int
+.Fn finite "double x"
+.Ft int
+.Fn ilogb "double x"
+.Ft double
+.Fn nextafter "double x" "double y"

+.Fn remainder "double x" "double y"
+.Ft double
+.Fn scalbn "double x" "int n"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These functions are required or recommended by
+.St -ieee754 .
+.Pp
+.Fn copysign
+returns
+.Fa x
+with its sign changed to
+.Fa y Ns 's.
+.Pp
+.Fn finite
+returns the value 1 just when
+\-\*(If \*(Lt
+.Fa x
+\*(Lt +\*(If;
+otherwise a
+zero is returned
+(when
+.Pf \\*(Ba Ns Fa x Ns \\*(Ba
+= \*(If or
+.Fa x
+is \*(Na
+.Pp
+.Fn ilogb
+returns
+.Fa x Ns 's exponent
+.Fa n ,
+in integer format.
+.Fn ilogb \*(Pm\*(If
+returns
+.Dv INT_MAX
+and
+.Fn ilogb 0
+returns
+.Dv INT_MIN .
+.Pp
+.Fn nextafter
+returns the next machine representable number from
+.Fa x
+in direction
+.Fa y .
+.Pp
+.Fn remainder
+returns the remainder
+.Fa r
+:=
+.Fa x
+\-
+.Fa n\(**y
+where
+.Fa n
+is the integer nearest the exact value of
+.Bk -words
+.Fa x Ns / Ns Fa y ;
+.Ek
+moreover if
+.Pf \\*(Ba Fa n
+\-
+.Sm off
+.Fa x No / Fa y No \\*(Ba
+.Sm on
+=
+1/2
+then
+.Fa n
+is even. Consequently
+the remainder is computed exactly and
+.Sm off
+.Pf \\*(Ba Fa r No \\*(Ba
+.Sm on
+\*(Le
+.Sm off
+.Pf \\*(Ba Fa y No \\*(Ba/2.
+.Sm on
+But
+.Fn remainder x 0
+and
+.Fn remainder \*(If 0
+are invalid operations that produce a \*(Na.
+.Pp
+.Fn scalbn
+returns
+.Fa x Ns \(**(2** Ns Fa n )
+computed by exponent manipulation.
