.SH NAME
fmod, fmodf, fmodl \- floating-point remainder value function
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
\fB#include <math.h>
.br
.sp
double fmod(double\fP \fIx\fP\fB, double\fP \fIy\fP\fB);
.br
float fmodf(float\fP \fIx\fP\fB, float\fP \fIy\fP\fB);
.br
long double fmodl(long double\fP \fIx\fP\fB, long double\fP \fIy\fP\fB);
.br
\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
These functions shall return the floating-point remainder of the division
of \fIx\fP by \fIy\fP.
.LP
An application wishing to check for error situations should set \fIerrno\fP
to zero and call
\fIfeclearexcept\fP(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions.
On return, if \fIerrno\fP is non-zero or
\fIfetestexcept\fP(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW)
is non-zero, an error has occurred.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
These functions shall return the value \fIx\fP- \fIi\fP* \fIy\fP,
for some integer \fIi\fP such that, if \fIy\fP is
non-zero, the result has the same sign as \fIx\fP and magnitude less
than the magnitude of \fIy\fP.
.LP
If the correct value would cause underflow, and is not representable,
a range error may occur, and  either 0.0 (if
supported), or an implementation-defined value shall be
returned.
.LP
If
\fIx\fP or \fIy\fP is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
.LP
If \fIy\fP is zero, a domain error shall occur, and either a NaN (if
supported), or an implementation-defined value shall be
returned.
.LP
If \fIx\fP is infinite, a domain error shall occur, and either a NaN
(if supported), or an implementation-defined value shall
be returned.
.LP
If \fIx\fP is \(+-0 and \fIy\fP is not zero, \(+-0 shall be returned.
.LP
If \fIx\fP is not infinite and \fIy\fP is \(+-Inf, \fIx\fP shall be
returned.
.LP
If the correct value would cause underflow, and is representable,
a range error may occur and the correct value shall be
returned. 
.SH ERRORS
.LP
These functions shall fail if:
.TP 7
Domain\ Error
The \fIx\fP argument is infinite or \fIy\fP is zero. 
.LP
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero,
then \fIerrno\fP shall be set to [EDOM]. If the
integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero,
then the invalid floating-point exception shall be raised.
.sp
.LP
These functions may fail if:
.TP 7
Range\ Error
The result underflows. 
.LP
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero,
then \fIerrno\fP shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the
integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero,
then the underflow floating-point exception shall be
raised.
.sp
.LP
\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
None.
.SH APPLICATION USAGE
.LP
On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling
& MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of
each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.
.SH RATIONALE
.LP
None.
.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
.LP
None.
