     Short(A)
     

Short: INTEGER(KIND=6) function.

A: INTEGER; scalar; INTENT(IN).

Intrinsic groups: unix.

Description:

Returns A with the fractional portion of its magnitude truncated and its sign preserved, converted to type INTEGER(KIND=6).

If A is type COMPLEX, its real part is truncated and converted, and its imaginary part is disregarded.

See Int Intrinsic.

The precise meaning of this intrinsic might change in a future version of the GNU Fortran language, as more is learned about how it is used.
