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

       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.

       An  application  wishing to check for error situations should set errno
       to zero and  call  feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)  before  calling  these
       functions.   On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID
       | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error  has
       occurred.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon  successful  completion,  these functions shall return the rounded
       integer value.

       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.

       If the correct value would cause overflow, a range  error  shall  occur
       and  nearbyint(), nearbyintf(), and nearbyintl() shall return the value
       of the macro ±HUGE_VAL, ±HUGE_VALF, and ±HUGE_VALL (with the same  sign
       as x), respectively.

ERRORS

       These functions shall fail if:

       Range Error
              The result would cause an overflow.

       If  the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero,
       then errno  shall  be  set  to  [ERANGE].  If  the  integer  expression
       (math_errhandling  &  MATH_ERREXCEPT)  is  non-zero,  then the overflow
       floating-point exception shall be raised.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       On  error,  the  expressions  (math_errhandling   &   MATH_ERRNO)   and
       (math_errhandling  & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but
       at least one of them must be non-zero.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
