Each of the macros (), (), (), (), and () take arguments x and y and return a non-zero value if and only if its nominal relation on x and y is true. These macros always return zero if either argument is not a number (NaN), but unlike the corresponding C operators, they never raise a floating point exception.

The () macro takes arguments x and y and returns non-zero if at least one of the arguments is NaN. For any pair of floating-point values, one of the relationships (less, greater, equal, unordered) holds.

fpclassify(3)

The isgreater(), isgreaterequal(), isless(), islessequal(), islessgreater(), and isunordered() macros conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (“ISO C99”).

The relational macros described above first appeared in OpenBSD 4.4.
