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

NAME
       nearbyint,  nearbyintf, nearbyintl, rint, rintf, rintl - round to near‐
       est integer

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       double nearbyint(double x);
       float nearbyintf(float x);
       long double nearbyintl(long double x);

       double rint(double x);
       float rintf(float x);
       long double rintl(long double x);

       Link with -lm.

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       nearbyint(), nearbyintf(), nearbyintl():
	   _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L ||
	   _ISOC99_SOURCE;
	   or cc -std=c99
       rint():
	   _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 ||
	   _XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED || _ISOC99_SOURCE ||
	   _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;
	   or cc -std=c99
       rintf(), rintl():
	   _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 ||
	   _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;
	   or cc -std=c99

DESCRIPTION
       The nearbyint() functions round their argument to an integer  value  in
       floating-point  format,	using the current rounding direction (see fes‐
       etround(3)) and without raising the inexact exception.

       The rint() functions do the same, but will raise the inexact  exception
       (FE_INEXACT,  checkable via fetestexcept(3)) when the result differs in
       value from the argument.

RETURN VALUE
       These functions return the rounded integer value.

       If x is integral, +0, -0, NaN, or infinite, x itself is returned.

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

CONFORMING TO
       C99, POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES
       SUSv2  and  POSIX.1-2001	 contain  text about overflow (which might set
       errno to ERANGE, or raise an FE_OVERFLOW exception).  In practice,  the
       result  cannot  overflow on any current machine, so this error-handling
       stuff is just nonsense.	(More precisely, overflow can happen only when
       the  maximum  value  of the exponent is smaller than the number of man‐
       tissa bits.  For the IEEE-754 standard 32-bit and 64-bit floating-point
       numbers	the maximum value of the exponent is 128 (respectively, 1024),
       and the number of mantissa bits is 24 (respectively, 53).)

       If you want to store the rounded value in an integer type, you probably
       want to use one of the functions described in lrint(3) instead.
