NAME

     imax, imin, lmax, lmin, uimax, uimin, ulmax, ulmin -- compare integers


SYNOPSIS

     int
     imax(int a, int b);

     int
     imin(int a, int b);

     long
     lmax(long a, long b);

     long
     lmin(long a, long b);

     u_int
     uimax(u_int a, u_int b);

     u_int
     uimin(u_int a, u_int b);

     u_long
     ulmax(u_long a, u_long b);

     u_long
     ulmin(u_long a, u_long b);


DESCRIPTION

     The imin(), lmin(), uimin(), and ulmin() functions return whichever argu-
     ment is algebraically smaller, differing only in their argument and
     return types: these functions operate on, respectively, natural size,
     long, unsigned and unsigned long integers.

     The imax(), lmax(), uimax(), and ulmax() functions are identical except
     that they return the algebraically larger argument between a and b.
