NAME

       fabs, fabsf, fabsl - absolute value of floating-point number

LIBRARY

       Math library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       double fabs(double x);
       float fabsf(float x);
       long double fabsl(long double x);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       fabsf(), fabsl():
           _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
               || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
               || /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

       These functions return the absolute value of the floating-point number x.

RETURN VALUE

       These functions return the absolute value of x.

       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.

       If x is -0, +0 is returned.

       If x is negative infinity or positive infinity, positive infinity is returned.

ERRORS

       No errors occur.
