     NAME
          abs - return integer absolute value

     SYNOPSIS
          int abs (i)
          int i;

     DESCRIPTION
          abs returns the absolute value of its integer operand.

     SEE ALSO
          floor(3M).

     CAVEAT
          In two's-complement representation, the absolute value of
          the negative integer with largest magnitude is undefined.
          Some implementations trap this error, but others simply
          ignore it.
