FMOD(3P)                   POSIX Programmer's Manual                  FMOD(3P)
PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
       fmod, fmodf, fmodl -- floating-point remainder value function
SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>
       double fmod(double x, double y);
       float fmodf(float x, float y);
       long double fmodl(long double x, long double y);
DESCRIPTION
       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with  the
       ISO C  standard.  Any  conflict between the requirements described here
       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This  volume  of  POSIX.1-2008
       defers to the ISO C standard.
       These  functions shall return the floating-point remainder of the divi-
       sion of x by y.
       An application wishing to check for error situations should  set  errno
       to  zero  and  call  feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)  before calling these
       functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID |
       FE_DIVBYZERO  |  FE_OVERFLOW  | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has
       occurred.
RETURN VALUE
       These functions shall return the value x-i*y, for some integer  i  such
       that, if y is non-zero, the result has the same sign as x and magnitude
       less than the magnitude of y.
       If the correct value would cause underflow, and is not representable, a
       range  error  may  occur,  and fmod(), modf(), and fmodl() shall return
       0.0, or (if the IEC 60559 Floating-Point option is  not  supported)  an
       implementation-defined  value  no  greater  in  magnitude than DBL_MIN,
       FLT_MIN, and LDBL_MIN, respectively.
       If x or y is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
       If y is zero, a domain error shall occur, and a NaN shall be returned.
       If x is infinite, a domain error  shall  occur,  and  a  NaN  shall  be
       returned.
       If x is +-0 and y is not zero, +-0 shall be returned.
       If x is not infinite and y is +-Inf, x shall be returned.
       If  the  correct  value  would cause underflow, and is representable, a
       range error may occur and the correct value shall be returned.
ERRORS
       These functions shall fail if:
       Domain Error
                   The x argument is infinite or y is zero.
                   If the integer expression (math_errhandling  &  MATH_ERRNO)
                   is  non-zero,  then  errno  shall be set to [EDOM].  If the
                   integer expression (math_errhandling &  MATH_ERREXCEPT)  is
                   non-zero,  then  the invalid floating-point exception shall
                   be raised.
       These functions may fail if:
       Range Error The result underflows.
                   If the integer expression (math_errhandling  &  MATH_ERRNO)
                   is  non-zero,  then errno shall be set to [ERANGE].  If the
                   integer expression (math_errhandling &  MATH_ERREXCEPT)  is
                   non-zero, then the underflow floating-point exception shall
                   be raised.
       The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
       None.
APPLICATION USAGE
       On  error,  the  expressions  (math_errhandling   &   MATH_ERRNO)   and
       (math_errhandling  & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but
       at least one of them must be non-zero.
RATIONALE
       None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
