24.SH NAME

44.SH DESCRIPTION
45The
e511ffb6 46.BR nearbyint ()
fea681da
MK
47functions round their argument to an integer value in floating point
48format, using the current rounding direction and without raising the
49.I inexact
50exception.
51.LP
52The
e511ffb6 53.BR rint ()
fea681da
MK
54functions do the same, but will raise the
55.I inexact
56exception when the result differs in value from the argument.
57.SH "RETURN VALUE"
58The rounded integer value. If \fIx\fP is integral or infinite,
59\fIx\fP itself is returned.
60.SH ERRORS
61No errors other than EDOM and ERANGE can occur.
62If \fIx\fP is NaN, then NaN is returned and
63.I errno
64may be set to EDOM.
65.SH NOTES
68e1685c 66SUSv2 and POSIX.1-2001 contain text about overflow (which might set
fea681da
MK
67.I errno
68to ERANGE, or raise an exception).
69In practice, the result cannot overflow on any current machine,
70so this error-handling stuff is just nonsense.
71(More precisely, overflow can happen only when the maximum value
72of the exponent is smaller than the number of mantissa bits.
73For the IEEE-754 standard 32-bit and 64-bit floating point numbers
74the maximum value of the exponent is 128 (resp. 1024), and the number
75of mantissa bits is 24 (resp. 53).)
76.SH "CONFORMING TO"
