+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions compute the floating-point remainder of dividing
+.I x
+by
+.IR y .
+The return value is
+.I x
+\-
+.I n
+*
+.IR y ,
+where
+.I n
+is the quotient of
+.I x
+/
+.IR y ,
+rounded toward zero to an integer.
+.P
+To obtain the modulus, more specifically, the Least Positive Residue,
+you will need to adjust the result from fmod like so:
+.P
+.in +4n
+.nf
+z = fmod(x, y);
+if (z < 0)
+ z += y;
+.fi
+.in
+.P
+An alternate way to express this is with
+.IR "fmod(fmod(x, y) + y, y)" ,
+but the second
+.BR fmod ()
+usually costs way more than the one branch.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, these
+functions return the value \fIx\fP\ \-\ \fIn\fP*\fIy\fP,
+for some integer
+.IR n ,
+such that the returned value has the same sign as
+.I x
+and a magnitude less than the magnitude of
+.IR y .
+.P
+If
+.I x
+or
+.I y
+is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is an infinity,
+a domain error occurs, and
+a NaN is returned.
+.P
+If
+.I y
+is zero,
+a domain error occurs, and
+a NaN is returned.
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is +0 (\-0), and
+.I y
+is not zero, +0 (\-0) is returned.
+.SH ERRORS
+See
+.BR math_error (7)
+for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
+when calling these functions.
+.P
+The following errors can occur:
+.TP
+Domain error: \fIx\fP is an infinity
+.I errno
+is set to
+.B EDOM
+(but see BUGS).
+An invalid floating-point exception
+.RB ( FE_INVALID )
+is raised.
+.TP
+Domain error: \fIy\fP is zero
+.I errno
+is set to
+.BR EDOM .
+An invalid floating-point exception
+.RB ( FE_INVALID )
+is raised.

+.SH EXAMPLES
+The call

+returns 348.

+The call

+returns -12.
+.P
+The call
+.I fmod(-372, -360)
