       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.
