FMOD(3) BSD Library Functions Manual FMOD(3)NAME
fmod, fmodf, fmodl -- floating-point remainder functions
LIBRARY
Math Library (libm, -lm)
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double
fmod(double x, double y);
float
fmodf(float x, float y);
long double
fmodl(long double x, long double y);
DESCRIPTION
The fmod(), fmodf(), and fmodl() functions compute the floating-point remainder of x/ y.
RETURN VALUES
If y is non-zero, the fmod(), fmodf(), and fmodl() functions return the value x-i*y, for some integer i, such that the result has the same
sign as x and magnitude less than the magnitude of y. If y is zero, a NaN is produced.
SEE ALSO math(3)STANDARDS
The fmod(), fmodf(), and fmodl() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99'').

fmod, drem, remainder - Compute the floating-point remainder
LIBRARY
Math Library (libm.a)
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double fmod (double x, double y); float fmodf (float x, float y); long double fmodl (long double x,
long double y); double drem (double x, double y); float dremf (float x, float y); long double dreml
(long double x, long double y); double remainder (double x, double y); float remainderf (float x, float y); long double
remainderl (long double x, long double y);
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:
fmod(): XPG4
remainder(): XPG4-UNIX
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.
DESCRIPTION
The fmod(), fmodf(), and fmodl() functions return the remainder r = x - n*y, where n = trunc(x/y). The result has the same sign as x and
magnitude less than the magnitude of y. The remainder is computed exactly and |r| is less than |y|.
The drem(), dremf(), dreml(), remainder(), remainderf(), and remainderl() functions return the remainder r = x - n*y, where n = rint(x/y).
Additionally, if |n - x/y|=1/2, then n is even. The remainder is computed exactly and |r| is less than or equal to |y|/2.
The drem() and remainder() functions are aliases of each other. The dremf(), and remainderf() functions are aliases of each other. The
dreml() and remainderl() functions are aliases of each other.
The following table describes function behavior in response to exceptional arguments:

Introduction
Originally, we only had one shell on unix. When ran a command, the shell would attempt to invoke one of the exec() system calls on it. It the command was an executable, the exec would succeed and the command would run. If the exec() failed, the shell would not give up, instead it... (3 Replies)

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)
