  20. .SH DESCRIPTION
  21. The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
  22. ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
  23. ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.

  25. The
  26. \fIabs\fR()
  27. function shall compute the absolute value of its integer operand,
  28. .IR i .
  29. If the result cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined.
  30. .SH "RETURN VALUE"
  31. The
  32. \fIabs\fR()
  33. function shall return the absolute value of its integer operand.
  34. .SH ERRORS
