NAME         top

       fmod, fmodf, fmodl - floating-point remainder function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <math.h>
       double fmod(double x, double y);
       float fmodf(float x, float y);
       long double fmodl(long double x, long double y);
       Link with -lm.
   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
       fmodf(), fmodl():
           _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
               || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
               || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions compute the floating-point remainder of dividing x by
       y.  The return value is x - n * y, where n is the quotient of x / y,
       rounded toward zero to an integer.

RETURN VALUE         top

       On success, these functions return the value x - n*y, for some
       integer n, such that the returned value has the same sign as x and a
       magnitude less than the magnitude of y.
       If x or y is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
       If x is an infinity, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
       If y is zero, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
       If x is +0 (-0), and y is not zero, +0 (-0) is returned.

ERRORS         top

       See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an
       error has occurred when calling these functions.
       The following errors can occur:
       Domain error: x is an infinity
              errno is set to EDOM (but see BUGS).  An invalid floating-
              point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.
       Domain error: y is zero
              errno is set to EDOM.  An invalid floating-point exception
              (FE_INVALID) is raised.

CONFORMING TO         top

       C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
       The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.

BUGS         top

       Before version 2.10, the glibc implementation did not set errno to
       EDOM when a domain error occurred for an infinite x.
