NAME

fmin() — minimum value function

SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h>

double fmin(double x, double y);

DESCRIPTION

The fmin() function determines the minimum numeric value of its arguments.

The ISO/ANSI C committee has approved the fmin() function for inclusion in the C9X draft standard.

To use this function, compile either with the default -Ae option or with the -Aa and -D_HPUX_SOURCE options. Make sure your program includes <math.h>. Link in the math library by specifying -lm on the compiler or linker command line.

RETURN VALUE

The fmin() function returns the minimum numeric value of its arguments.

If one argument is a NaN and the other is numeric, fmin() returns the numeric argument.

If both arguments are NaNs, fmin() returns one of the arguments.

ERRORS

No errors are defined.
