fabs, fabsf, fabsl - absolute value of floating-point number SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> double fabs(double x); float fabsf(float x); long double fabsl(long double x); DESCRIPTION
The fabs functions return the absolute value of the floating-point number x. ERRORS
No errors can occur. CONFORMING TO
The fabs() function conforms to SVID 3, POSIX, BSD 4.3, ISO 9899. The other functions are from C99. SEE ALSO

FABS(3) Linux Programmer's Manual FABS(3) NAME
fabs, fabsf, fabsl - absolute value of floating-point number SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> double fabs(double x); float fabsf(float x); long double fabsl(long double x); Link with -lm. Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): fabsf(), fabsl(): _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L; or cc -std=c99 DESCRIPTION
These functions return the absolute value of the floating-point number x. RETURN VALUE
These functions return the absolute value of x. If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is -0, +0 is returned. If x is negative infinity or positive infinity, positive infinity is returned. ERRORS
No errors occur. ATTRIBUTES
Multithreading (see pthreads(7)) The fabs(), fabsf(), and fabsl() functions are thread-safe. CONFORMING TO
C99, POSIX.1-2001. The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89. SEE ALSO
