abs(3C)                                                   abs(3C)



NAME
     abs - return integer absolute value

SYNOPSIS
     int abs(i)
     int i;

DESCRIPTION
     abs returns the absolute value of its integer operand.

LIMITATIONS
     In two's-complement representation, the absolute value of
     the negative integer with largest magnitude is returned.

     Some implementations trap this error, but others simply
     ignore it.
