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; or cc -std=c99
DESCRIPTION
The fabs() 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.
