maxmin(3C)

NAME
     fmax, fmaxf, fmaxl, fmin, fminf, fminl - maximum and minimum functions

SYNOPSIS
     #include <math.h>

     double fmax(double x, double y);
     float fmaxf(float x, float y);
     long double fmaxl(long double x, long double y);

     double fmin(double x, double y);
     float fminf(float x, float y);
     long double fminl(long double x, long double y);

DESCRIPTION
     These routines are not available for programs compiled with the O32 ABI.

     The fmax functions determine the maximum numeric value of their
     arguments.

     The fmin functions determine the minimum numeric value of their
     arguments.

NOTES
     Long double operations on this system are only supported in round to
     nearest rounding mode (the default).  The system must be in round to
     nearest rounding mode when calling any of the long double functions, or
     incorrect answers will result.

RETURN VALUES
     If just one argument is a NaN, the fmax functions return the other
     argument (if both arguments are NaNs, the functions return a NaN).  The
     analagous results are also true for the fmin functions.
