NEXTUP(3) Linux Programmer's Manual NEXTUP(3)

NAME

     nextup,  nextupf, nextupl, nextdown, nextdownf, nextdownl - return next
     floating-point number toward positive/negative infinity

SYNOPSIS

     #define _GNU_SOURCE     /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
     #include <math.h>
     double nextup(double x);
     float nextupf(float x);
     long double nextupl(long double x);
     double nextdown(double x);
     float nextdownf(float x);
     long double nextdownl(long double x);
     Link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION

     The nextup(), nextupf(), and nextupl() functions return the next repre-
     sentable floating-point number greater than x.
     If x is the smallest representable negative number in the corresponding
     type, these functions return -0.  If x is 0, the returned value is  the
     smallest representable positive number of the corresponding type.
     If x is positive infinity, the returned value is positive infinity.  If
     x is negative infinity, the returned value is the largest representable
     finite negative number of the corresponding type.
     If x is Nan, the returned value is NaN.
     The value returned by nextdown(x) is -nextup(-x), and similarly for the
     other types.

RETURN VALUE

     See DESCRIPTION.

VERSIONS
