PROLOG

6       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
7       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
8       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
9       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

12       imaxabs — return absolute value
13

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

20       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with  the
21       ISO C  standard.  Any  conflict between the requirements described here
22       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This  volume  of  POSIX.1‐2017
23       defers to the ISO C standard.
24
25       The  imaxabs()  function shall compute the absolute value of an integer
26       j.  If the result cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined.
27

RETURN VALUE

29       The imaxabs() function shall return the absolute value.
