62.Sh DESCRIPTION
63The
64.Fn Q_QADDQ ,
65.Fn Q_QDIVQ ,
66.Fn Q_QMULQ ,
67and
68.Fn Q_QSUBQ
69functions add, divide, multiply or subtract
70.Fa b
71to/by/from
72.Fa a
73respectively, storing the result in
74.Fa a .
75Both arguments must be initialized with the same fractional radix point.
76.Pp
77The
78.Fn Q_NORMPREC
79function attempts to normalise the precision of
80.Fa a
81and
82.Fa b
83if they differ.
84The greater of the two precisions is preferred if possible, unless that would
85truncate integer component data for the other operand, in which case the highest
86precision that preserves the integer component of both
87.Fa a
88and
89.Fa b
90is selected.
91.Pp
92The
93.Fn Q_QMAXQ
94and
95.Fn Q_QMINQ
96functions return the larger or smaller of
97.Fa a
98and
99.Fa b
100respectively.
101.Pp
102The
103.Fn Q_QCLONEQ
104and
105.Fn Q_QCPYVALQ
106functions attempt to store identical or representational copies of
107.Fa r ,
108in
109.Fa l
110respectively.
111An identical Q number produced by cloning copies the control bits as well as the
112verbatim integer/fractional bits.
113A representational copy only copies the values of
114.Fa r Ap s
115integer and fractional bits, representing them in the bits available per
116.Fa l Ap s
117Q format.
118.Pp
119All of those functions operate on the following data types:
120.Vt s8q_t ,
121.Vt u8q_t ,
122.Vt s16q_t ,
123.Vt u16q_t ,
124.Vt s32q_t ,
125.Vt u32q_t ,
126.Vt s64q_t ,
127and
128.Vt u64q_t ,
129which are referred to generically as
130.Fa QTYPE .
131.Pp

134.Sh RETURN VALUES
135The
136.Fn Q_QADDQ ,
137.Fn Q_QDIVQ ,
138.Fn Q_QMULQ ,
139.Fn Q_QSUBQ
140.Fn Q_NORMPREC ,
141.Fn Q_QCLONEQ
142and
143.Fn Q_QCPYVALQ
144functions return 0 on success, or an errno on failure.
145.Er EINVAL
146is returned for divide-by-zero.
147.Er EOVERFLOW
148and
149.Er ERANGE
150are returned for overflow and underflow respectively.
151.Er ERANGE is also returned when the precision of arguments
152does not match.
153.Pp
154The
155.Fn Q_QMAXQ
156and
157.Fn Q_QMINQ
158functions return the numerically larger or smaller of their two inputs
159respectively.
