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
rint, rintf, rintl — round-to-nearest integral value
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double rint(double x);
float rintf(float x);
long double rintl(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 return the integral value (represented as a double) nearest x in the direction of
the current rounding mode. The current rounding mode is implementation-defined.
If the current rounding mode rounds toward negative infinity, then rint() shall be equivalent to floor().
If the current rounding mode rounds toward positive infinity, then rint() shall be equivalent to ceil().
If the current rounding mode rounds towards zero, then rint() shall be equivalent to trunc(). If the
current rounding mode rounds towards nearest, then rint() differs from round() in that halfway cases are
rounded to even rather than away from zero.
These functions differ from the nearbyint(), nearbyintf(), and nearbyintl() functions only in that they
may raise the inexact floating-point exception if the result differs in value from the argument.
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 integer (represented as a double precision
number) nearest x in the direction of the current rounding mode. The result shall have the same sign as
x.
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 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.
