NAME
       fixmul - Multiplies two fixed point values together. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <allegro.h>

       fixed fixmul(fixed x, fixed y);

DESCRIPTION
       A  fixed  point value can be multiplied or divided by an integer with the normal `*' and `/' operators. To multiply two fixed point values,
       though, you must use this function.

       If an overflow occurs, `errno' will be set and the maximum possible value will be returned, but `errno' is not cleared if the operation	is
       successful. This means that if you are going to test for overflow you should set `errno=0' before calling fixmul(). Example:

	  fixed result;

	  /* This will put 30000 into `result'. */
	  result = fixmul(itofix(10), itofix(3000));
	  /* But this overflows, and sets `errno'. */
	  result = fixmul(itofix(100), itofix(3000));
	  ASSERT(!errno);

RETURN VALUE
       Returns the clamped result of multiplying `x' by `y', setting `errno' to ERANGE if there was an overflow.
