60.Sh DESCRIPTION
61The
62.Fn Q_QADDQ ,
63.Fn Q_QDIVQ ,
64.Fn Q_QMULQ ,
65and
66.Fn Q_QSUBQ
67functions add, divide, multiply or subtract
68.Fa b
69to/by/from
70.Fa a
71respectively, storing the result in
72.Fa a .
73Both arguments must be initialized with the same fractional radix point.
74.Pp
75The
76.Fn Q_NORMPREC
77function attempts to normalise the precision of
78.Fa a
79and
80.Fa b
81if they differ.
82The greater of the two precisions is preferred if possible, unless that would
83truncate integer component data for the other operand, in which case the highest
84precision that preserves the integer component of both
85.Fa a
86and
87.Fa b
88is selected.
89.Pp
90The
91.Fn Q_QMAXQ
92and
93.Fn Q_QMINQ
94functions return the larger or smaller of
95.Fa a
96and
97.Fa b
98respectively.
99.Pp
100The
101.Fn Q_QCLONEQ
102and
103.Fn Q_QCPYVALQ
104functions attempt to store identical or representational copies of
105.Fa r ,
106in
107.Fa l
108respectively.
109An identical Q number produced by cloning copies the control bits as well as the
110verbatim integer/fractional bits.
111A representational copy only copies the values of
112.Fa r Ap s
113integer and fractional bits, representing them in the bits available per
114.Fa l Ap s
115Q format.
116.Pp
117All of those functions operate on the following data types:
118.Vt s8q_t ,
119.Vt u8q_t ,
120.Vt s16q_t ,
121.Vt u16q_t ,
122.Vt s32q_t ,
123.Vt u32q_t ,
124.Vt s64q_t ,
125and
126.Vt u64q_t ,
127which are referred to generically as
128.Fa QTYPE .

132.Sh RETURN VALUES
133The
134.Fn Q_QADDQ ,
135.Fn Q_QDIVQ ,
136.Fn Q_QMULQ ,
137.Fn Q_QSUBQ
138.Fn Q_NORMPREC ,
139.Fn Q_QCLONEQ
140and
141.Fn Q_QCPYVALQ
142functions return 0 on success, or an errno on failure.
143.Er EINVAL
144is returned for divide-by-zero.
145.Er EOVERFLOW
146and
147.Er ERANGE
148are returned for overflow and underflow respectively.
149.Er ERANGE is also returned when the precision of arguments
150does not match.
151.Pp
152The
153.Fn Q_QMAXQ
154and
155.Fn Q_QMINQ
156functions return the numerically larger or smaller of their two inputs
157respectively.
