NAME
fmaxl - Determines the maximum numeric value of two long double numbers
LIBRARY
H-series and J-series native Guardian processes: $SYSTEM.ZDLLnnn.ZCREDLL

SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
long double fmaxl(
long double x,
long double y
);
PARAMETERS
x Specifies a long double number.
y Specifies a long double number.
DESCRIPTION
The fmaxl() function is a long double version of the fmax() function; it takes long double argu-
ments and returns a long double result.
The fmaxl() function determines the minimum numeric value of two floating-point numbers.
NaN arguments are treated as missing data. If one argument is a NaN and the other numeric, the
fmaxl() function returns the numeric value.
NOTES
This function is implemented only for the IEEE_float floating-point option. Applications using
this function cannot be compiled if the specified floating-point option is Tandem_float.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the fmaxl() function returns the minimum numeric value of x and y.
If one argument is a NaN and the other numeric, the fmaxl() function returns the numeric value.
If both x and y are NaNs, the fmaxl( ) function returns NaN.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
