64 These functions compute the floating-point remainder of dividing
80 rounded toward zero to an integer.
83 functions return the value \fIx\fP\ \-\ \fIn\fP*\fIy\fP,

88 and a magnitude less than the magnitude of
95 is a NaN, a NaN is returned.

118 when calling these functions.
120 The following errors can occur:
122 Domain error: \fIx\fP is an infinity
127 An invalid floating-point exception
131 Domain error: \fIy\fP is zero
135 An invalid floating-point exception
