+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR abs ()
+function computes the absolute value of the integer
+argument \fIj\fP.
+The
+.BR labs (),
+.BR llabs (),
+and
+.BR imaxabs ()
+functions compute the absolute value of the argument \fIj\fP of the
+appropriate integer type for the function.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Returns the absolute value of the integer argument, of the appropriate
+integer type for the function.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
+For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see

+.SH STANDARDS
+C11, POSIX.1-2008.
+.SH HISTORY
+POSIX.1-2001, C99, SVr4, 4.3BSD.
+.\" POSIX.1 (1996 edition) requires only the
+.\" .BR abs ()
+.\" function.
+.PP
+C89 only
+includes the
+.BR abs ()
+and
+.BR labs ()
+functions; the functions
+.BR llabs ()
+and
+.BR imaxabs ()
+were added in C99.
+.SH NOTES
+Trying to take the absolute value of the most negative integer
+is not defined.
+.PP
+The
+.BR llabs ()
+function is included since glibc 2.0.
+The
+.BR imaxabs ()
+function is included since glibc 2.1.1.
+.PP
+For
+.BR llabs ()
+to be declared, it may be necessary to define
+\fB_ISOC99_SOURCE\fP or \fB_ISOC9X_SOURCE\fP (depending on the
+version of glibc) before including any standard headers.
+.PP
+By default,
+GCC handles
+.BR abs (),
+.BR labs (),
+and (since GCC 3.0)
+.BR llabs ()
+and
+.BR imaxabs ()
+as built-in functions.
