Module Summary
--------------
Interfaces for the NAG Mark 29.3 `machine` Chapter.

``machine`` - Machine Constants

This module is concerned with **parameters** which characterise certain aspects of the **computing environment** in which the NAG Library is implemented.
They relate primarily to floating-point arithmetic, but also to integer arithmetic, the elementary functions and exception handling.
The values of the parameters vary from one implementation of the NAG Library to another, but within the context of a single implementation they are constants.

The parameters are intended for use primarily by other functions in the NAG Library, but users of the NAG Library may sometimes need to refer to them directly.

Often the related accuracy of a result gets progressively worse as the argument gets larger. ``sinarg_max`` gives a value beyond which the compiler run-time library returns results with no relative accuracy at all.
