| 37 | .Sh NAME | |
| 38 | .Nm fmod | |
| 39 | .Nd floating-point remainder function | |
| 40 | .Sh SYNOPSIS | |
| 41 | .Fd #include <math.h> | |
| 42 | .Ft double | |
| 43 | .Fn fmod "double x" "double y" | |
| 44 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
| 45 | The | |
| 46 | .Fn fmod | |
| 47 | function computes the floating-point remainder of | |
| 48 | .Fa x Ns / Fa y . | |
| 49 | .Sh RETURN VALUES | |
| 50 | The | |
| 51 | .Fn fmod | |
| 52 | function returns the value | |
| 53 | .Sm off | |
| 54 | .Fa x - Em i * Fa y , | |
| 55 | .Sm on | |
| 56 | for some integer | |
| 57 | .Em i | |
| 58 | such that, if | |
| 59 | .Fa y | |
| 60 | is non-zero, the result has the same sign as | |
| 61 | .Fa x | |
| 62 | and magnitude less than the magnitude of | |
| 63 | .Fa y . | |
| 64 | If | |
| 65 | .Fa y | |
| 66 | is zero, whether a domain error occurs or the | |
| 67 | .Fn fmod | |
| 68 | function returns zero is implementation-defined. | |

| 72 | The | |
| 73 | .Fn fmod | |
| 74 | function conforms to | |
