.SH PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
.SH NAME
remainder, remainderf, remainderl \- remainder function
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
\fB#include <math.h>
.br
.sp
double remainder(double\fP \fIx\fP\fB, double\fP \fIy\fP\fB);
.br
float remainderf(float\fP \fIx\fP\fB, float\fP \fIy\fP\fB);
.br
long double remainderl(long double\fP \fIx\fP\fB, long double\fP \fIy\fP\fB);
.br
\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
These functions shall return the floating-point remainder \fIr\fP=
\fIx\fP- \fIny\fP when \fIy\fP is non-zero. The value
\fIn\fP is the integral value nearest the exact value \fIx\fP/ \fIy\fP.
When |\fIn\fP-\fIx\fP/\fIy\fP|=0.5, the value
\fIn\fP is chosen to be even.
.LP
The behavior of \fIremainder\fP() shall be independent of the rounding
mode.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the floating-point
remainder \fIr\fP= \fIx\fP- \fIny\fP when
\fIy\fP is non-zero.
.LP
If
\fIx\fP or \fIy\fP is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
.LP
If \fIx\fP is infinite or \fIy\fP is 0 and the other is non-NaN, a
domain error shall occur, and either a NaN (if supported),
or an implementation-defined value shall be returned. 
.SH ERRORS
.LP
These functions shall fail if:
.TP 7
Domain\ Error
The \fIx\fP argument is \(+-Inf, or the \fIy\fP argument is \(+-0
and the other argument is non-NaN. 
.LP
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero,
then \fIerrno\fP shall be set to [EDOM]. If the
integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero,
then the invalid floating-point exception shall be raised.
.sp
.LP
\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
None.
.SH APPLICATION USAGE
.LP
On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling
& MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of
each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.
.SH RATIONALE
.LP
None.
.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
.LP
None.
