FLOOR(3)                   Linux Programmer's Manual                  FLOOR(3)
NAME
       floor,  floorf,  floorl - largest integral value not greater than argu-
       ment
SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>
       double floor(double x);
       float floorf(float x);
       long double floorl(long double x);
       Link with -lm.
   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
       floorf(), floorl():
           _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
               || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
               || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
       These functions return the largest integral value that is  not  greater
       than x.
       For example, floor(0.5) is 0.0, and floor(-0.5) is -1.0.
RETURN VALUE
       These functions return the floor of x.
       If x is integral, +0, -0, NaN, or an infinity, x itself is returned.
ERRORS
       No  errors  occur.  POSIX.1-2001 documents a range error for overflows,
       but see NOTES.

CONFORMING TO
       C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
       The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
NOTES
       SUSv2  and  POSIX.1-2001  contain  text about overflow (which might set
       errno to ERANGE, or raise an FE_OVERFLOW exception).  In practice,  the
       result  cannot  overflow on any current machine, so this error-handling
       stuff is just nonsense.  (More precisely, overflow can happen only when
       the  maximum  value  of the exponent is smaller than the number of man-
       tissa bits.  For the IEEE-754 standard 32-bit and 64-bit floating-point
       numbers  the maximum value of the exponent is 128 (respectively, 1024),
       and the number of mantissa bits is 24 (respectively, 53).)
