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

       floor, floorf, floorl — floor function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       double floor(double x);
       float floorf(float x);
       long double floorl(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 compute the largest integral value not greater than x.

RETURN VALUE

       The result shall have the same sign as x.

       Upon  successful  completion,  these functions shall return the largest integral value not
       greater than x, expressed as a double, float, or  long  double,  as  appropriate  for  the
       return type of the function.

       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

       If x is ±0 or ±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 might 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.

       These  functions  may  raise the inexact floating-point exception if the result differs in
       value from the argument.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
