NAME
       _Maxof, _Minof - limits of an integer type

LIBRARY
       Standard C library (libc)

SYNOPSIS
       T _Maxof(typename T);
       T _Minof(typename T);

DESCRIPTION
       These operators return the maximum or minimum representable value of
       the operand integer type.

       If the operand is not an integer type, it produces a compilation error.

RETURN VALUE
       The maximum or minimum representable value of the operand integer type.

       The result is an integer constant expression of the same type as the
       operand.

STANDARDS
       GNU.

HISTORY
       gcc 16.

EXAMPLES
       #include <assert.h>
       #include <limits.h>
       #include <stdlib.h>

       int
       main(void)
       {
            static_assert(_Maxof(long) == LONG_MAX);
            exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
       }
