Bug ID: 211376
Summary: isunordered description in isgreater(3) man page is
inverted
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: Documentation
Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
Reporter: parakleta at darkreality.org
The description of the `isunordered()` macro states that it returns non-zero if
none of its parameters are NaNs, whereas it actually returns non-zero if any of
its parameters are NaNs.
I propose changing the sentence:
> The isunordered() macro takes arguments x and y and returns non-zero if
> and only if neither x nor y are NaNs.
to read instead:
> The isunordered() macro takes arguments x and y and returns non-zero if
> and only if any of x or y are NaN.
The word 'any' could be replaced with 'one or both' but I think 'either' tends
to have an exclusive connotation so may not be appropriate.
