DESCRIPTION

37       The nearbyint(), nearbyintf(), and nearbyintl() functions  round  their
38       argument  to  an integer value in floating-point format, using the cur‐
39       rent rounding direction (see fesetround(3))  and  without  raising  the
40       inexact  exception.  When the current rounding direction is to nearest,
41       these functions round halfway cases to the even integer  in  accordance
42       with IEEE-754.
43
44       The  rint(), rintf(), and rintl() functions do the same, but will raise
45       the inexact exception (FE_INEXACT, checkable via fetestexcept(3))  when
46       the result differs in value from the argument.
47

RETURN VALUE

49       These functions return the rounded integer value.
50
51       If x is integral, +0, -0, NaN, or infinite, x itself is returned.
52

ERRORS

54       No  errors  occur.  POSIX.1-2001 documents a range error for overflows,
55       but see NOTES.

NOTES

72       SUSv2  and  POSIX.1-2001  contain  text about overflow (which might set
73       errno to ERANGE, or raise an FE_OVERFLOW exception).  In practice,  the
74       result  cannot  overflow on any current machine, so this error-handling
75       stuff is just nonsense.  (More precisely, overflow can happen only when
76       the  maximum  value  of the exponent is smaller than the number of man‐
77       tissa bits.  For the IEEE-754 standard 32-bit and 64-bit floating-point
78       numbers  the maximum value of the exponent is 128 (respectively, 1024),
79       and the number of mantissa bits is 24 (respectively, 53).)
80
81       If you want to store the rounded value in an integer type, you probably
82       want to use one of the functions described in lrint(3) instead.
