       NAME
             values - machine-dependent values

       SYNOPSIS
             #include <values.h>

       DESCRIPTION
             This file contains a set of manifest constants, conditionally
             defined for particular processor architectures.

             The model assumed for integers is binary representation (one's
             or two's complement), where the sign is represented by the
             value of the high-order bit.

             BITS(type)    The number of bits in a specified type (for
                           example, int).

             HIBITS        The value of a short integer with only the
                           high-order bit set.

             HIBITL        The value of a long integer with only the high-
                           order bit set.

             HIBITI        The value of a regular integer with only the
                           high-order bit set.

             MAXSHORT      The maximum value of a signed short integer.

             MAXLONG       The maximum value of a signed long integer.

             MAXINT        The maximum value of a signed regular integer.

             MAXFLOAT, LN_MAXFLOAT
                           The maximum value of a single-precision
                           floating-point number, and its natural
                           logarithm.

             MAXDOUBLE, LN_MAXDOUBLE
                           The maximum value of a double-precision
                           floating-point number, and its natural
                           logarithm.

             MAXLONGDOUBLE, LN_MAXLONGDOUBLE
                           The maximum value of a quad-precision floating-
                           point number, and its natural logarithm.

      values(5)                                                  values(5)


            MINFLOAT, LN_MINFLOAT
                          The minimum positive value of a single-precision
                          floating-point number, and its natural
                          logarithm.

            MINDOUBLE, LN_MINDOUBLE
                          The minimum positive value of a double-precision
                          floating-point number, and its natural
                          logarithm.

            MINLONGDOUBLE, LN_MINLONGDOUBLE
                          The minimum value of a quad-precision floating-
                          point number, and its natural logarithm.

            FSIGNIF       The number of significant bits in the mantissa
                          of a single-precision floating-point number.

            DSIGNIF       The number of significant bits in the mantissa
                          of a double-precision floating-point number.

            LDSIGNIF      The number of significant bits in the mantissa
                          of a quad-precision floating-point number.
