+.TH _Generic 3 2023-02-12 "Linux man-pages 6.03"
+.SH NAME
+_Generic \- type-generic selection
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.BR _Generic( \fIexpression\fP ", type1: " e1 ", " "... /*" \
+", default: " "e */" );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.BR _Generic ()
+evaluates the path of code under the type selector
+that is compatible with the type of the controlling
+.IR expression ,
+or
+.B default:
+if no type is compatible.
+.PP
+.I expression
+is not evaluated.
+.PP
+This is especially useful for writing type-generic macros,
+that will behave differently depending on the type of the argument.
+.SH STANDARDS
+C11 and later.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The following program demonstrates how to write
+a replacement for the standard
+.BR imaxabs (3)
+function, which being a function can't really provide what it promises:
+seamlessly upgrading to the widest available type.
