ABS(3)                               BSD                                ABS(3)



NAME
     abs - integer absolute value

SYNOPSIS

     int i;

DESCRIPTION
     abs returns the absolute value of its integer operand.

BUGS
     Applying the abs function to the most negative integer generates a result
     that is the most negative integer.  That is, abs(0x80000000) returns
     0x80000000 as a result.
