DESCRIPTION

25       These functions return the absolute value of the floating-point  number
26       x.
27

RETURN VALUE

29       These functions return the absolute value of x.
30
31       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
32
33       If x is -0, +0 is returned.
34
35       If  x  is  negative infinity or positive infinity, positive infinity is
36       returned.
37

ERRORS

39       No errors occur.

ATTRIBUTES

42   Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
43       The fabs(), fabsf(), and fabsl() functions are thread-safe.
44

CONFORMING TO

46       C99, POSIX.1-2001.  The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4,
