abs(3)									abs(3)

NAME
       abs, div, labs, ldiv - Computes absolute value and division of integers

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdlib.h>

       int abs(
	       int i ); long labs(
	       long i ); div_t div(
	       int numerator,
	       int denominator ); ldiv_t ldiv(
	       long numerator,
	       long denominator );

LIBRARY
       Standard C Library (libc)

PARAMETERS
       For  abs(),  specifies  some  integer.  For labs(), specifies some long
       integer.	 For div(), specifies some integer. For ldiv(), specifies some
       long integer.  For div(), specifies some integer. For ldiv(), specifies
       some long integer.

DESCRIPTION
       The abs() function returns the absolute value of its integer operand.

       The div() function computes the quotient and remainder of the  division
       of the numerator numerator by the denominator denominator. If the divi‐
       sion is inexact, the sign of the resulting  quotient  is	 that  of  the
       algebraic  quotient, and the magnitude of the resulting quotient is the
       largest integer less than the magnitude of the algebraic quotient.   If
       the  result  cannot  be represented (for example, if the denominator is
       0), the behavior is undefined. The div() function returns  a  value  of
       type div_t, comprising both the quotient and the remainder.

       The labs() and ldiv() functions perform the same functions as abs() and
       div() respectively, but accept long integers rather  than  integers  as
       parameters.   The  ldiv() function returns a value of type ldiv_t, com‐
       prising both the quotient and the remainder.

NOTES
       The abs(), labs(), div(), and ldiv() functions are supported for multi‐
       threaded applications.

       A  two's-complement  integer  can hold a negative number whose absolute
       value is too large for the integer to hold.  When  given	 this  largest
       negative value, the abs() function returns the same value.  Full use

RETURN VALUES
       The  abs()  function  and  labs() function return the absolute value of
       their arguments.

       The div() function returns a value of type div_t and the	 ldiv()	 func‐
       tion returns a value of type ldiv_t.
