DESCRIPTION

       The  nearbyint(),  nearbyintf(),  and  nearbyintl() functions round their argument to an integer value in
       floating-point format, using the current rounding direction (see fesetround(3)) and without  raising  the
       inexact exception.

       The rint(), rintf(), and rintl() functions do the same, but will raise the inexact exception (FE_INEXACT,
       checkable via fetestexcept(3)) when the result differs in value from the argument.

RETURN VALUE

       These functions return the rounded integer value.

       If x is integral, +0, -0, NaN, or infinite, x itself is returned.

ERRORS

       No errors occur.  POSIX.1-2001 documents a range error for overflows, but see NOTES.

ATTRIBUTES

   Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
       The nearbyint(), nearbyintf(), nearbyintl(), rint(), rintf(), and rintl() functions are thread-safe.

CONFORMING TO

       C99, POSIX.1-2001.

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  mantissa 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).)

       If  you want to store the rounded value in an integer type, you probably want to use one of the functions
       described in lrint(3) instead.
