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
overflow.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
