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)):

|| /* 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.
