  24.      These routines are not available for programs compiled with the O32 ABI.
  25.  
  26.      Functions in the standard math library (_llll_iiii_bbbb_mmmm_...._aaaa) are referred to as _----_llll_mmmm
  27.      versions. Those in mathx library (_llll_iiii_bbbb_mmmm_xxxx_...._aaaa) are referred to as _----_llll_mmmm_xxxx
  28.      versions, and those in the the BSD math library (_llll_iiii_bbbb_mmmm_4444_3333_...._aaaa) are referred
  29.      to as _----_llll_mmmm_4444_3333 versions.
  30.  
  31.      The _ffff_mmmm_aaaa_xxxx functions determine the maximum numeric value of their
  32.      arguments.
  33.  
  34.      The _ffff_mmmm_iiii_nnnn functions determine the minimum numeric value of their
  35.      arguments.

  38.      Long double operations on this system are only supported in round to
  39.      nearest rounding mode (the default).  The system must be in round to
  40.      nearest rounding mode when calling any of the long double functions, or
  41.      incorrect answers will result.

  44.      The _----_llll_mmmm and _----_llll_mmmm_xxxx versions always return the default Quiet NaN and set
  45.      _eeee_rrrr_rrrr_nnnn_oooo to EDOM when a NaN is used as an argument.  A NaN argument usually
  46.      causes the _----_llll_mmmm_4444_3333 versions to return the same argument.  The _----_llll_mmmm_4444_3333
  47.      versions never set _eeee_rrrr_rrrr_nnnn_oooo.
  48.  
  49.      See _mmmm_aaaa_tttt_hhhh_eeee_rrrr_rrrr(3M) for a description of error handling for _----_llll_mmmm_xxxx functions.
