DESCRIPTION
The
fmod()
function computes the floating-point remainder of dividing x by
y.
The return value is x - n * y, where n
is the quotient of x / y, rounded towards zero to an integer.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these
functions return the value x - n*y,
for some integer n,
such that the returned value has the same sign as
x
and a magnitude less than the magnitude of
y.
If
x
or
y
is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If
x
is an infinity,
a domain error occurs, and
a NaN is returned.
If
y
is zero,
a domain error occurs, and
a NaN is returned.
If
x
is +0 (-0), and
y
is not zero, +0 (-0) is returned.
ERRORS
See
math_error(7)
for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
when calling these functions.
The following errors can occur:
Domain error: x is an infinity
An invalid floating-point exception
(FE_INVALID)
is raised.
These functions do not set
errno
for this case.
Domain error: y is zero
errno
is set to
EDOM.
An invalid floating-point exception
(FE_INVALID)
is raised.
CONFORMING TO
C99, POSIX.1-2001.
The variant returning
double
also conforms to
SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
