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

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

RETURN VALUE
       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.

ERRORS
       No errors occur.
