FMIN(3P)						     POSIX Programmer's Manual							  FMIN(3P)

PROLOG
       This  manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       fmin, fminf, fminl -- determine minimum numeric value of two floating-point numbers

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       double fmin(double x, double y);
       float fminf(float x, float y);
       long double fminl(long double x, long double y);

DESCRIPTION
       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here
       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard.

       These functions shall determine the minimum numeric value of their arguments.  NaN arguments shall be treated as missing data: if one argu-
       ment is a NaN and the other numeric, then these functions shall choose the numeric value.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the minimum numeric value of their arguments.

       If just one argument is a NaN, the other argument shall be returned.

       If x and y are NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.
