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.   When  the  current  rounding
       direction  is  to  nearest,  these  functions  round  halfway cases to the even integer in
       accordance with IEEE-754.

       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.

CONFORMING TO

       C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.

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.
