<h4><a name="tag_03_401_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
<blockquote>
<div class="box"><sup>[<a href="javascript:open_code('CX')">CX</a>]</sup> <img src="../images/opt-start.gif" alt="[Option Start]"
border="0"> The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO&nbsp;C standard. Any conflict between the
requirements described here and the ISO&nbsp;C standard is unintentional. This volume of IEEE&nbsp;Std&nbsp;1003.1-2001 defers to
the ISO&nbsp;C standard. <img src="../images/opt-end.gif" alt="[Option End]" border="0"></div>
<p>The function call <i>nan</i>("<i>n-char-sequence</i>") shall be equivalent to:</p>
<pre>
<tt>strtod("NAN(</tt><i>n-char-sequence</i><tt>)", (char **) NULL);
</tt>
</pre>
<p>The function call <i>nan</i>("") shall be equivalent to:</p>
<pre>
<tt>strtod("NAN()", (char **) NULL)
</tt>
</pre>
<p>If <i>tagp</i> does not point to an <i>n</i>- <b>char</b> sequence or an empty string, the function call shall be equivalent
to:</p>
<pre>
<tt>strtod("NAN", (char **) NULL)
</tt>
</pre>
<p>Function calls to <i>nanf</i>() and <i>nanl</i>() are equivalent to the corresponding function calls to <a href=
"../functions/strtof.html"><i>strtof</i>()</a> and <a href="../functions/strtold.html"><i>strtold</i>()</a>.</p>

<h4><a name="tag_03_401_04"></a>RETURN VALUE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>These functions shall return a quiet NaN, if available, with content indicated through <i>tagp</i>.</p>
<p>If the implementation does not support quiet NaNs, these functions shall return zero.</p>
