NEARBYINT(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual NEARBYINT(3P)
PROLOG
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
nearbyint, nearbyintf, nearbyintl -- floating-point rounding functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double nearbyint(double x);
float nearbyintf(float x);
long double nearbyintl(long double x);
DESCRIPTION
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.1-2008
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
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
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
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 over-
flow.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
