I think there was a misunderstanding; maybe I should have been clearer: I meant to write about <float.h> in the "Notes" of the type, and not in the "NOTES" of the entire page. However, I decided to do it in the description of the type as you said, because it was a bit simpler. The other version would have resulted in this code, just for you to see: [[ .TP .I double_t .RS .PP Include: .IR <math.h> . .PP The implementation's most efficient floating type at least as wide as .IR double . Its type depends on the value of the macro .BR FLT_EVAL_METHOD : .TP 0 .I double_t is .IR double . .TP 1 .I double_t is .IR double . .TP 2 .I double_t is .IR "long double" . .IP For other values of .BR FLT_EVAL_METHOD , the type of .I double_t is implementation-defined. .PP Conforming to: C99 and later; POSIX.1-2001 and later. .PP Notes: The macro .B FLT_EVAL_METHOD is defined in .IR <float.h> . .PP See also the .I float_t type in this page. .RE ]] Cheers, Alex man7/system_data_types.7 | 42 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 42 insertions(+) diff --git a/man7/system_data_types.7 b/man7/system_data_types.7 index b04457bbf..aa5ab95e9 100644 --- a/man7/system_data_types.7 +++ b/man7/system_data_types.7 @@ -147,6 +147,48 @@ Conforming to: C99 and later; POSIX.1-2001 and later. .IP See also: .BR fenv (3) +.\"------------------------------------- float_t ----------------------/ +.TP +.I float_t +.IP +Include: +.IR <math.h> . +.IP +The implementation's most efficient floating type at least as wide as +.IR float . +Its type depends on the value of the macro +.BR FLT_EVAL_METHOD , +defined in +.IR <float.h> : +.RS +.TP +0 +.I float_t +is +.IR float . +.TP +1 +.I float_t +is +.IR double . +.TP +2 +.I float_t +is +.IR "long double" . +.IP +For other values of +.BR FLT_EVAL_METHOD , +the type of +.I float_t +is implementation-defined. +.RE +.IP +Conforming to: C99 and later; POSIX.1-2001 and later. +.IP +See also the +.I double_t +type in this page. .\"------------------------------------- gid_t ------------------------/ .TP .I gid_t -- 2.28.0
