72 These functions break the argument \fIx\fR into integral and fractional parts,
73 each of which has the same sign as the argument. It stores the integral part as
74 a \fBdouble\fR for the \fBmodf()\fR function, a float for the \fBmodff()\fR
75 function, or a long double for the\fBmodfl()\fR function in the object pointed
80 Upon successful completion, these functions return the signed fractional part
84 If \fIx\fR is NaN, a NaN is returned and *\fIiptr\fR is set to NaN.
87 If \fIx\fR is \(+-Inf, \(+-0 is returned and *\fIiptr\fR is set to \(+-Inf.
91 No errors are defined.
