- \(em floating-point remainder value function
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- #include <math.h>
- .P
- double fmod(double \fIx\fP, double \fIy\fP);
- float fmodf(float \fIx\fP, float \fIy\fP);
- long double fmodl(long double \fIx\fP, long double \fIy\fP);

- .SH 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\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
- .P
- These functions shall return the floating-point remainder of the
- division of
- .IR x
- by
- .IR y .
- .P
- An application wishing to check for error situations should set
- .IR errno
- to zero and call
- .IR feclearexcept (FE_ALL_EXCEPT)
- before calling these functions. On return, if
- .IR errno
- is non-zero or \fIfetestexcept\fR(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO |
- FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- These functions shall return the value
- .IR x \-\c
- .IR i *\c
- .IR y ,
- for some integer
- .IR i
- such that, if
- .IR y
- is non-zero, the result has the same sign as
- .IR x
- and magnitude less than the magnitude of
- .IR y .
- .P
- If the correct value would cause underflow,
- and is not
- representable,
- a range error may occur, and
- \fIfmod\fR(),
- \fImodf\fR(),
- and
- \fIfmodl\fR()
- 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.
- .P
- If
- .IR x
- or
- .IR y
- is NaN, a NaN shall be returned, and none of the conditions
- below shall be considered.
- .P
- If
- .IR y
- is zero, a domain error shall occur, and a NaN shall be returned.
- .P
- If
- .IR x
- is infinite, a domain error shall occur, and a NaN shall be returned.
- .P
- If
- .IR x
- is \(+-0 and
- .IR y
- is not zero, \(+-0 shall be returned.
- .P
- If
- .IR x
- is not infinite and
- .IR y
- is \(+-Inf,
- .IR x
- shall be returned.
- .P
- If the correct value would cause underflow, and is representable, a
- range error may occur and the correct value shall be returned.
- .SH ERRORS
- These functions shall fail if:
- .IP "Domain\ Error" 12
- The
- .IR x
- argument is infinite or
- .IR y
- is zero.
- .RS 12
- .P
- If the integer expression (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERRNO) is
- non-zero, then
- .IR errno
- shall be set to
- .BR [EDOM] .
- If the integer expression (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is
- non-zero, then the invalid floating-point exception shall be raised.
- .RE
- .P
- These functions may fail if:
- .IP "Range\ Error" 12
- The result underflows.
- .RS 12
- .P
- If the integer expression (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERRNO) is
- non-zero, then
- .IR errno
- shall be set to
- .BR [ERANGE] .
- If the integer expression (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is
- non-zero, then the underflow floating-point exception shall be raised.
- .RE
- .LP
- .IR "The following sections are informative."
- .SH EXAMPLES
- None.
- .SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
- On error, the expressions (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERRNO) and
- (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each
- other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.
- .SH RATIONALE
- None.
- .SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
- None.
