|
---|
16 | .B Abs
|
---|
17 | returns the absolute value of its integer operand.

|
---|
19 | .BR floor (3).
|
---|
20 | .SH BUGS
|
---|
21 | Applying the \fIabs\fP function to the most negative integer generates a
|
---|
22 | result which is the most negative integer. That is, abs(0x80000000)
|
---|
23 | returns 0x80000000 as a result on a machine with 32-bit ints. Using the
|
---|
24 | result in unsigned computations is sound however.
