NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       #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

       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  repre-
       sentable 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.

RETURN VALUE

       See DESCRIPTION.

VERSIONS

       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.24.
