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

NAME         top

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

SYNOPSIS         top

       #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         top

       The nextup(), nextupf(), and nextupl() functions return the next
       representable 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.
