Manual page for ABS(3P)

abs - integer absolute value

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdlib.h>

int abs(int i);

DESCRIPTION

Abs returns the absolute value of its integer operand.

SEE ALSO

floor(3M) for fabs

BUGS

Applying the abs function to the most negative integer generates a result which is the most negative integer. That is,
abs(0x80000000)

returns 0x80000000 as a result.
