NAME
fmod, fmodf, fmodl - floating-point remainder functionSYNOPSIS
#include<math.h>
double fmod(double x , double y );
float fmodf(float x , float y );
long double fmodl(long double x , long double y );
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

DESCRIPTION
The fmod() function computes the floating-point remainder of dividing x by y. The return value is x - n * y, where n is the quotient of x / y, rounded toward zero to an integer.RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the value x - n* y, for some integer n, such that the returned value has the same sign as x and a magnitude less than the magnitude of y.ERRORS
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.The following errors can occur:
- Domain error: x is an infinity
- errno is set to EDOM (but see BUGS). An invalid floating-point exception ( FE_INVALID) is raised.
- Domain error: y is zero
- errno is set to EDOM. An invalid floating-point exception ( FE_INVALID) is raised.
CONFORMING TO
C99, POSIX.1-2001. The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.BUGS
Before version 2.10, the glibc implementation did not set errno to EDOM when a domain error occurred for an infinite x.SEE ALSO
