       mlib_VectorMaximumMag_D64C - find the first element with the maximum magnitude in a vector

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lmlib [ library... ]
       #include <mlib.h>

       mlib_status mlib_VectorMaximumMag_U8C(mlib_u8 *max, const mlib_u8 *x, mlib_s32 n);

       mlib_status mlib_VectorMaximumMag_S8C(mlib_s8 *max, const mlib_s8 *x, mlib_s32 n);

       mlib_status mlib_VectorMaximumMag_S16C(mlib_s16 *max, const mlib_s16 *x, mlib_s32 n);

       mlib_status mlib_VectorMaximumMag_S32C(mlib_s32 *max, const mlib_s32 *x, mlib_s32 n);

       mlib_status mlib_VectorMaximumMag_F32C(mlib_f32 *max, const mlib_f32 *x, mlib_s32 n);

       mlib_status mlib_VectorMaximumMag_D64C(mlib_d64 *max, const mlib_d64 *x, mlib_s32 n);

DESCRIPTION

       Each of these functions finds the first element with the maximum magnitude in a complex vector, then puts the real and imaginary  parts	of
       it into max[0] and max[1], respectively.

PARAMETERS

       Each of the functions takes the following arguments:

       max	       Pointer to the first element with the maximum magnitude.

       x	       Pointer to the first element of the source vector.

       n	       Number of elements in the source vector.

RETURN VALUES

       Each of the functions returns MLIB_SUCCESS if successful. Otherwise it returns MLIB_FAILURE.
