| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| These functions return the absolute value of the floating-point |
| number |
| .IR x . |
| .SH RETURN VALUE |
| These functions return the absolute value of |
| .IR x . |
| |
| If |
| .I x |
| is a NaN, a NaN is returned. |
| |
| If |
| .I x |
| is \-0, +0 is returned. |
| |
| If |
| .I x |
| is negative infinity or positive infinity, positive infinity is returned. |
| .SH ERRORS |
| No errors occur. |
