The header <math.h> declares two types and many mathematical functions and defines several macros. Most synopses specify a family of functions consisting of a principal function with one or more double parameters, a double return value, or both; and other functions with the same name but with f and l suffixes, which are corresponding functions with float and long double parameters, return values, or both.
C99 added

C99 allows an implementation to pre-define the __STD_IEC_559 preprocessor macro, indicating that it conforms to certain required behavior of the IEC 60559 (a.k.a. IEEE 599) specification regarding floating-point arithmetic and library functions. Implementations that do not pre-define this macro are not require to provide conforming floating-point behavior.
