NAME
       fmod, fmodf, fmodl - floating-point remainder function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       double fmod(double x, double y);

       float fmodf(float x, float y);

       long double fmodl(long double x, long double y);

DESCRIPTION
       The  fmod()  function  computes the 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
       The  fmod() function returns the remainder, unless y is zero, when the
       function fails and errno is set.

ERRORS
       EDOM   The denominator y is zero.

CONFORMING TO
       SVID 3, POSIX, BSD 4.3, ISO 9899.  The float and the long double vari-
       ants are C99 requirements.
