int get_abs_of_vector
(
	Vector **target_vpp,
	const Vector *source_vp
);

DESCRIPTION

This routine calculates the absolute values of vector componants. The first argument is the adress of the target vector. If the target vector itself is null, then a vector of the appropriate size is created. If the target vector is the wrong size, it is resized. Finally, if it is the right size, then the storage is recycled, as is.

RETURNS

NO_ERROR on success, and ERROR on failure, with an error message being set. This routine will fail if any of the matrix elements are too close to zero, or if memory allocation fails.

DISCLAIMER

This software is not adequatedly tested. It is recomended that results are checked independantly where appropriate.
