.Sh NAME
.Nm fmaximum_mag ,
.Nm fmaximum_magf ,
.Nm fmaximum_magl ,
.Nm fminimum_mag ,
.Nm fminimum_magf ,
.Nm fminimum_magl
.Nd floating-point maximum and minimum magnitude functions
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libm
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In math.h
.Ft double
.Fn fmaximum_mag "double x" "double y"
.Ft float
.Fn fmaximum_magf "float x" "float y"
.Ft "long double"
.Fn fmaximum_magl "long double x" "long double y"
.Ft double
.Fn fminimum_mag "double x" "double y"
.Ft float
.Fn fminimum_magf "float x" "float y"
.Ft "long double"
.Fn fminimum_magl "long double x" "long double y"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn fmaximum_mag ,
.Fn fmaximum_magf ,
and
.Fn fmaximum_magl
functions determine the larger of the absolute values of
.Fa x
and
.Fa y ,
and return the argument with the larger absolute value.
If the absolute values are equal, the behavior is equivalent to calling the corresponding
.Fn fmaximum
function on the arguments.
.Pp
Likewise, the
.Fn fminimum_mag ,
.Fn fminimum_magf ,
and
.Fn fminimum_magl
functions determine the smaller of the absolute values of
.Fa x
and
.Fa y ,
and return the argument with the smaller absolute value.
If the absolute values are equal, the behavior is equivalent to calling the corresponding
.Fn fminimum
function on the arguments.
.Pp
If either argument is an \*(Na, then the result is an \*(Na.
These routines do not raise any floating-point exceptions.
