NEXTTOWARD(3) BSD Library Functions Manual NEXTTOWARD(3)NAME
nexttoward
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double
nexttoward(double x, long double y);
long double
nexttowardl(long double x, long double y);
float
nexttowardf(float x, long double y);
DESCRIPTION
The nexttoward() functions return the next machine representable number from x in direction of y. It is identical to nextafter() except that
the second parameter has type long double, and the function returns y converted to the type of the function if x and y are equal.
SPECIAL VALUES
nexttoward(x, y) raises the "overflow" and "inexact" floating-point exceptions for x finite and the function value infinite.
nexttoward(x, y) raises the "underflow" and "inexact" floating-point exceptions for the function value subnormal or zero and x not equal to
y.
SEE ALSO nextafter(3)math(3)STANDARDS
The nexttoward() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:2011.

nextafter, nexttoward - floating point number manipulation
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double nextafter(double x, double y);
float nextafterf(float x, float y);
long double nextafterl(long double x, long double y);
double nexttoward(double x, long double y);
float nexttowardf(float x, long double y);
long double nexttowardl(long double x, long double y);
DESCRIPTION
The nextafter() functions return the next representable neighbor of x in the direction towards y. The size of the step between x and the
result depends on the type of the result. If x = y the function simply returns y. If either value is NaN, then NaN is returned. Other-
wise a value corresponding to the value of the least significant bit in the mantissa is added or subtracted, depending on the direction.
The nexttoward() functions do the same as the nextafter() functions, except that they have a long double second argument.
These functions will signal overflow or underflow if the result goes outside of the range of normalized numbers.
CONFORMING TO
C99. This function is defined in IEC 559 (and the appendix with recommended functions in IEEE 754/IEEE 854).

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.

hi,
I am searching for a native tool on MacOS that can increase the resolution of a group of image files whose aspect ratios (file width versus height) vary widely. There are numerous files so I don't wish to do this manually. Someone suggested the sips command with the resampling option but... (5 Replies)

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.
Many tricky terminal escape codes are not catered for so I had to create workarounds.
One thing I searched for was this:
