The return value is \fIx\fP - \fIn\fP * \fIy\fP, where \fIn\fP +is the quotient of \fIx\fP / \fIy\fP, rounded towards zero to an integer. +.SH "RETURN VALUE" +The \fBfmod()\fP function returns the remainder, unless \fIy\fP is zero, +when the function fails and \fIerrno\fP is set. +.SH ERRORS +.TP +.B EDOM +The denominator \fIy\fP is zero. +.SH "CONFORMING TO" +SVID 3, POSIX, BSD 4.3, ISO 9899. +The float and the long double variants are C99 requirements. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR remainder (3) |
