NAME
     TINY - Returns the smallest positive value for a real argument

SYNOPSIS
     TINY ([X=]x)

STANDARDS
     Fortran

DESCRIPTION
     The TINY intrinsic function returns the smallest positive number in
     the real number model that represents number of the same type and kind
     type parameter as the argument.  For more information on the real
     number model, see the MODELS(3I) man page.  It accepts the following
     argument:

     x         Must be of type real.  It may be scalar or array valued.

     TINY is an inquiry function.  The name of this intrinsic cannot be
     passed as an argument.

RETURN VALUES
     The result is a scalar with the same type and kind type parameter as
     x.  The result has the value

     be sub min-1, where b and e min
     (represented as "e sub min" in the previous equation) are as defined
     in the real number model, which represents numbers of the same type
     and kind type parameter as x.

EXAMPLES
     TINY(X) has values that approximate the following:

     * 2-125 for real (KIND=4) X

     * 2-1021 for real (KIND=8) X

     * 2-967 for real (KIND=16) X
