NAME

imax, imin, lmax, lmin, max, min, ulmax, ulmin, abs — kernel library math routines

SYNOPSIS

#include <lib/libkern/libkern.h>

int
imax(int a, int b);

int
imin(int a, int b);

long
lmax(long a, long b);

long
lmin(long a, long b);

u_int
max(u_int a, u_int b);

u_int
min(u_int a, u_int b);

u_long
ulmax(u_long a, u_long b);

u_long
ulmin(u_long a, u_long b);

int
abs(int j);

DESCRIPTION

The min(), imin(), lmin() and ulmin() functions return the smallest integer between a and b, inclusive. The max(), imax(), lmax() and ulmax() functions return the largest integer between a and b, inclusive.

The abs() function computes the absolute value of integer j.

STANDARDS

The abs() function conforms to ANSI X3.159-1989 (“ANSI C89”).
