FLMIN(3F)                            BSD                             FLMIN(3F)



NAME
     flmin, flmax, ffrac, dflmin, dflmax, dffrac, inmax - return extreme
     values

SYNOPSIS
     function flmin()

     function flmax()

     function ffrac()

     double precision function dflmin()

     double precision function dflmax()

     double precision function dffrac()

     function inmax()

DESCRIPTION
     Functions flmin and flmax return the minimum and maximum positive
     floating-point values, respectively.  Functions dflmin and dflmax return
     the minimum and maximum positive double-precision floating-point values.
     Function inmax returns the maximum positive integer value.

     The functions ffrac and dffrac return the fractional accuracy of single-
     and double-precision floating-point numbers, respectively.  This is the
     difference between 1.0 and the smallest real number greater than 1.0.

     These functions can be used by programs that must scale algorithms to the
     numerical range of the processor.
