How to find function definition

How do I find the definition of a function?

In the Aaron Hillegass book (Cocoa Programming for Mac OSX), there is an example that uses a function called fabs (on page 323). However, there is no explanation of what this function does.

So in XCode 1.5, I option-clicked on "fabs" in some source code, and HELP displayed the following information (from Apple's "Mathematical and Logical Utilities Reference"):

---
fabs

double_t fabs (
   double_t x
);

Parameter Descriptions
x

function result
See page for a description of the double_t data type.


Availability

Available in CarbonLib 1.0 and later when MathLib 1.0 or later is present. Available in Mac OS X 10.0 and later.

Unfortunately the above documentation doesn't seem very helpful. What does the function do? Why isn't there a description of what it does? Where do I find an explanation of what "fabs" returns?
