NAME

13       imaxabs — return absolute value
14

SYNOPSIS

16       #include <inttypes.h>
17
18       intmax_t imaxabs(intmax_t j);
19

DESCRIPTION

21       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with  the
22       ISO C  standard.  Any  conflict between the requirements described here
23       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This  volume  of  POSIX.1‐2008
24       defers to the ISO C standard.
25
26       The  imaxabs()  function shall compute the absolute value of an integer
27       j.  If the result cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined.
28

RETURN VALUE

30       The imaxabs() function shall return the absolute value.
31
