ABS(3C)                              SysV                              ABS(3C)



NAME
     abs, labs - return integer absolute value

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdlib.h>

     int abs(i)
     int i;

     long int labs (j)
     long int j;

DESCRIPTION
     abs and labs return the absolute values of their operands.

SEE ALSO
     floor(3M).

CAVEAT
     In two's-complement representation, the absolute value of the negative
     integer with largest magnitude is undefined.  Domain/OS SysV ignores this
     error.
