NAME

6       nextup,  nextupf, nextupl, nextdown, nextdownf, nextdownl - return next
7       floating-point number toward positive/negative infinity
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #define _GNU_SOURCE     /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
11       #include <math.h>
12
13       double nextup(double x);
14       float nextupf(float x);
15       long double nextupl(long double x);
16
17       double nextdown(double x);
18       float nextdownf(float x);
19       long double nextdownl(long double x);

21       Link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION

24       The nextup(), nextupf(), and nextupl() functions return the next repre‐
25       sentable floating-point number greater than x.
26
27       If x is the smallest representable negative number in the corresponding
28       type, these functions return -0.  If x is 0, the returned value is  the
29       smallest representable positive number of the corresponding type.
30
31       If x is positive infinity, the returned value is positive infinity.  If
32       x is negative infinity, the returned value is the largest representable
33       finite negative number of the corresponding type.
34
35       If x is Nan, the returned value is NaN.
36
37       The value returned by nextdown(x) is -nextup(-x), and similarly for the
38       other types.
