NAME
       abs(), labs(), llabs(), imaxabs() - return integer absolute value

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
       computes the absolute value of its integer operand.

       computes the absolute value of its long integer operand.

       computes the absolute value of its long long integer operand.

       computes the absolute value of its intmax_t integer operand.

       If the result value can not be represented, the behavior of these functions is undefined.

RETURN VALUE
       returns the absolute value of its integer operand.

       returns the absolute value of the long integer operand.

       returns the absolute value of the long long integer operand.

       returns the absolute value of the intmax_t integer operand.

       The largest negative integer returns itself.

WARNINGS
       In two's-complement representation, the absolute value of the negative integer with the largest magnitude can not be represented.
