+
+    Attributes
+    ----------
+    bits : int
+        The number of bits occupied by the type.
+    dtype : dtype
+        Returns the dtype for which `finfo` returns information. For complex
+        input, the returned dtype is the associated ``float*`` dtype for its
+        real and complex components.
+    eps : float
+        The difference between 1.0 and the next smallest representable float
+        larger than 1.0. For example, for 64-bit binary floats in the IEEE-754
+        standard, ``eps = 2**-52``, approximately 2.22e-16.
+    epsneg : float
+        The difference between 1.0 and the next smallest representable float
+        less than 1.0. For example, for 64-bit binary floats in the IEEE-754
+        standard, ``epsneg = 2**-53``, approximately 1.11e-16.
+    iexp : int
+        The number of bits in the exponent portion of the floating point
+        representation.
+    machep : int
+        The exponent that yields `eps`.
+    max : floating point number of the appropriate type
+        The largest representable number.
+    maxexp : int
+        The smallest positive power of the base (2) that causes overflow.
+    min : floating point number of the appropriate type
+        The smallest representable number, typically ``-max``.
+    minexp : int
+        The most negative power of the base (2) consistent with there
+        being no leading 0's in the mantissa.
+    negep : int
+        The exponent that yields `epsneg`.
+    nexp : int
+        The number of bits in the exponent including its sign and bias.
+    nmant : int
+        The number of bits in the mantissa.
+    precision : int
+        The approximate number of decimal digits to which this kind of
+        float is precise.
+    resolution : floating point number of the appropriate type
+        The approximate decimal resolution of this type, i.e.,
+        ``10**-precision``.
+    tiny : float
+        An alias for `smallest_normal`, kept for backwards compatibility.
+    smallest_normal : float
+        The smallest positive floating point number with 1 as leading bit in
+        the mantissa following IEEE-754 (see Notes).
+    smallest_subnormal : float
+        The smallest positive floating point number with 0 as leading bit in
+        the mantissa following IEEE-754.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    dtype : float, dtype, or instance
+        Kind of floating point or complex floating point
+        data-type about which to get information.
+
+    See Also
+    --------
+    iinfo : The equivalent for integer data types.
+    spacing : The distance between a value and the nearest adjacent number
+    nextafter : The next floating point value after x1 towards x2
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    For developers of NumPy: do not instantiate this at the module level.
+    The initial calculation of these parameters is expensive and negatively
+    impacts import times.  These objects are cached, so calling ``finfo()``
+    repeatedly inside your functions is not a problem.
+
+    Note that ``smallest_normal`` is not actually the smallest positive
+    representable value in a NumPy floating point type. As in the IEEE-754
+    standard [1]_, NumPy floating point types make use of subnormal numbers to
+    fill the gap between 0 and ``smallest_normal``. However, subnormal numbers
+    may have significantly reduced precision [2]_.
+
+    This function can also be used for complex data types as well. If used,
+    the output will be the same as the corresponding real float type
+    (e.g. numpy.finfo(numpy.csingle) is the same as numpy.finfo(numpy.single)).
+    However, the output is true for the real and imaginary components.
