a,
u_int b);
u_long

DESCRIPTION
The
imin(),
lmin(),
min(),
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(),
max(),
and
ulmax() functions are identical except that they return
the algebraically larger argument between
a and
b.
