NEARBYINT(3P)           POSIX Programmer's Manual          NEARBYINT(3P)

PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       nearbyint, nearbyintf, nearbyintl — floating-point rounding
       functions

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <math.h>

       double nearbyint(double x);
       float nearbyintf(float x);
       long double nearbyintl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned
       with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements
       described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This
       volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       These functions shall round their argument to an integer value in
       floating-point format, using the current rounding direction and
       without raising the inexact floating-point exception.

RETURN VALUE         top

       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the
       rounded integer value.  The result shall have the same sign as x.

       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

       If x is ±0, ±0 shall be returned.

       If x is ±Inf, x shall be returned.

ERRORS         top

       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES         top

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE         top

       The integral value returned by these functions need not be
       expressible as an intmax_t.  The return value should be tested
       before assigning it to an integer type to avoid the undefined
       results of an integer overflow.

RATIONALE         top

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS         top

       None.
