NAME

labs − return absolute value of integer

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdlib.h>

long labs(long lval);

DESCRIPTION

labs() returns the absolute value of its long operand. 

NOTES

In 2’s-complement representation, the absolute value of the largest magnitude negative integral value is undefined. 

The unbundled ANSI C compiler provides ANSI versions of most of the system header files, which are used automatically at compile time. For example, the directive
#include <stdio.h> will use the file provided by this compiler, rather than /usr/include/stdio.h.
