nextup(3)               Library Functions Manual               nextup(3)

NAME         top

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

LIBRARY         top

       Math library (libm, -lm)

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);

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.
