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
       fmin, fminf, fminl - determine minimum numeric value of  two  floating-
       point numbers
SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>
       double fmin(double x, double y);
       float fminf(float x, float y);
       long double fminl(long double x, long double y);

DESCRIPTION
       These  functions  shall  determine  the  minimum numeric value of their
       arguments. NaN arguments shall be treated as missing data: if one argu-
       ment  is a NaN and the other numeric, then these functions shall choose
       the numeric value.
RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, these functions shall  return  the  minimum
       numeric value of their arguments.
       If just one argument is a NaN, the other argument shall be returned.
       If x and y are NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
ERRORS
       No errors are defined.
