compare integers

int
imax(int a, int b);

int
imin(int a, int b);

long
lmax(long a, long b);

long
lmin(long a, long b);

u_int
uimax(u_int a, u_int b);

u_int
uimin(u_int a, u_int b);

u_long
ulmax(u_long a, u_long b);

u_long
ulmin(u_long a, u_long b);

The imin(), lmin(), uimin(), and ulmin() functions return whichever argument is algebraically smaller, differing only in their argument and return types: these functions operate on, respectively, natural size, long, unsigned and unsigned long integers.

The imax(), lmax(), uimax(), and ulmax() functions are identical except that they return the algebraically larger argument between a and b.
