SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

25       Functions flmin and flmax  return  the  minimum  and  maximum  positive
26       floating point values respectively.  Functions dflmin and dflmax return
27       the minimum and maximum positive double precision floating  point  val‐
28       ues.  Function inmax returns the maximum positive integer value.
29
30       The functions ffrac and dffrac return the fractional accuracy of single
31       and double precision floating point numbers respectively.  This is  the
32       difference between 1.0 and the smallest real number greater than 1.0.
33
34       These  functions  can be used by programs that must scale algorithms to
35       the numerical range of the processor.
