I did a man on finite here are the results:
DESCRIPTION
The finite() function is recommended by the IEEE-754 standard for
floating-point arithmetic.
finite() returns 1 only when -INFINITY < x < +INFINITY. Otherwise, it
returns 0 (that is, when x is +-INFINITY or x is NaN).
finitef() is a float version of finite(); it takes a float argument.
To use this function, compile either with the -Ae option or with the
-Aa and -D_HPUX_SOURCE options. Otherwise, the compiler promotes the
float argument to double, and the function returns incorrect results.
finitef() is not specified by any standard, but it is named in
accordance with the conventions specified in the "Future Library
Directions" section of the ANSI C standard.
I hope this helps
