.SH NAME
nearbyint, nearbyintf, nearbyintl \- floating-point rounding functions
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP

.sp
double nearbyint(double\fP \fIx\fP\fB);
.br
float nearbyintf(float\fP \fIx\fP\fB);
.br

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
These functions shall round their argument to an integer value in
floating-point format, using the current rounding direction
and without raising the inexact floating-point exception.
.LP
An application wishing to check for error situations should set \fIerrno\fP
to zero and call
\fIfeclearexcept\fP(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions.
On return, if \fIerrno\fP is non-zero or
\fIfetestexcept\fP(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW)
is non-zero, an error has occurred.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the rounded
integer value.
.LP
If
\fIx\fP is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
.LP
If \fIx\fP is \(+-0, \(+-0 shall be returned.
.LP
If \fIx\fP is \(+-Inf, \fIx\fP shall be returned. 
.LP
If the correct value would cause overflow, a range error shall occur
and \fInearbyint\fP(), \fInearbyintf\fP(), and
\fInearbyintl\fP() shall return the value of the macro \(+-HUGE_VAL,
\(+-HUGE_VALF, and \(+-HUGE_VALL (with the same
sign as \fIx\fP), respectively. 
.SH ERRORS
.LP
These functions shall fail if:
.TP 7
Range\ Error
The result would cause an overflow. 
.LP
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero,
then \fIerrno\fP shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the
integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero,
then the overflow floating-point exception shall be raised.
.sp
.LP
\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
None.
.SH APPLICATION USAGE
.LP
On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling
& MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of
each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.
.SH RATIONALE
.LP
None.
.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
.LP
None.
