NAME         top

       fabs, fabsf, fabsl - absolute value of floating-point number

SYNOPSIS         top

       #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():
           _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
               || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
               || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions return the absolute value of the floating-point
       number x.

RETURN VALUE         top

       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.
