| fea681da | 35 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| a637b728 MK |
36 | These functions return the positive difference, max(\fIx\fP-\fIy\fP,0), |
| 37 | between their arguments. | |
| 38 | .SH RETURN VALUE | |
| 39 | On success, these functions return the positive difference. | |
| 847e0d88 | 40 | .PP |
| fea681da MK |
41 | If |
| 42 | .I x | |
| 43 | or | |
| 44 | .I y | |
| a637b728 | 45 | is a NaN, a NaN is returned. |
| 847e0d88 | 46 | .PP |
| a637b728 | 47 | If the result overflows, |
| efe294cb | 48 | a range error occurs, |
| a637b728 MK |
49 | and the functions return |
| 50 | .BR HUGE_VAL , | |
| 51 | .BR HUGE_VALF , | |
| 52 | or | |
| 53 | .BR HUGE_VALL , | |
| 54 | respectively. | |
| 55 | .SH ERRORS | |
| 56 | See | |
| 57 | .BR math_error (7) | |
| 58 | for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred | |
| 59 | when calling these functions. | |
| 60 | .PP | |
| 61 | The following errors can occur: | |
| 62 | .TP | |
| 63 | Range error: result overflow | |
| 64 | .\" .I errno | |
| 65 | .\" is set to | |
| 66 | .\" .BR ERANGE . | |
| 67 | An overflow floating-point exception | |
| 68 | .RB ( FE_OVERFLOW ) | |
| 69 | is raised. | |
| 70 | .PP | |
| 71 | These functions do not set | |
| 72 | .IR errno . | |
| 73 | .\" FIXME . Is it intentional that these functions do not set errno? | |
| 74 | .\" Bug raised: http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6796 | |
