BOOTSTRAP (klibm) functions


LIBRARY ROUTINE

kfabs - compute the absolute value of the argument.

LIBRARY CALL

double kfabs(double x)

INPUT

OUTPUT

none

RETURN VALUE

the double precision absolute value of the input argument.

DESCRIPTION

The kfabs function computes the absolute value of the double precision input argument.

This is provided in all POSIX and X/OPEN compliant C math libraries. Currently kfabs is simply a macro to fabs because Khoros does not run on any machine whose math library does not include this function. If Khoros is ported to a machine without this function then a replacement will be written.
