General description

The fmin() family of functions determine the minimum numeric value of their arguments. NaN arguments are treated as missing data. If one argument is a NaN and the other numeric, then the numeric value will be chosen.

Notes:

To use IEEE decimal floating-point, the hardware must have the Decimal Floating-Point Facility installed.
These functions work in IEEE decimal floating-point format. See "IEEE Decimal Floating-Point" for more information.

Returned value

If successful, they return the minimum numeric value of their arguments.
