FDIM(3) | Linux Programmer's Manual | FDIM(3) |
NAME¶
fdim, fdimf, fdiml - positive difference
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <math.h>
double fdim(double x, double y); float fdimf(float x, float y); long double fdiml(long double x, long double y);
Link with -lm.
fdimf(), fdiml():
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
DESCRIPTION¶
These functions return the positive difference, max(x-y,0), between their arguments.
RETURN VALUE¶
On success, these functions return the positive difference.
If x or y is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL, respectively.
ERRORS¶
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.
The following errors can occur:
- Range error: result overflow
- errno is set to ERANGE. An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.
VERSIONS¶
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
ATTRIBUTES¶
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).

CONFORMING TO¶
C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
BUGS¶
Before glibc version 2.24 on certain architectures (e.g., x86, but not x86_64) these functions did not set errno.
