FMIN(3M) Mathematical Library Functions FMIN(3M)

fmin, fminf, fminl - determine minimum numeric value of two floating-point numbers

c99 [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
#include <math.h>
double fmin(double x, double y);

float fminf(float x, float y);

long double fminl(long double x, long double y);

These functions determine the minimum numeric value of their arguments. NaN arguments are treated as missing data: if one argument is a NaN and the other numeric, these functions choose the numeric value.

Upon successful completion, these functions return the minimum numeric value of their arguments.

If just one argument is a NaN, the other argument is returned.

If x and y are NaN, a NaN is returned.

No errors are defined.
