DESCRIPTIONThe nextafter(), nextafterf(), and nextafterl() functions return the next representable floating-point value following x in the direction of y. If y is less than x, these functions will return the largest representable number less than x. If x equals y, the functions return y. The nexttoward(), nexttowardf(), and nexttowardl() functions do the same as the corresponding nextafter() functions, except that they have a long double" second argument.

RETURN VALUEOn success, these functions return the next representable floating-point value after x in the direction of y. If x equals y, then y (cast to the same type as x) is returned. If x or y is a NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is finite, and the result would overflow, a range error occurs, and the functions return HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL, respectively, with the correct mathematical sign. If x is not equal to y, and the correct function result would be subnormal, zero, or underflow, a range error occurs, and either the correct value (if it can be represented), or 0.0, is returned.

ERRORSSee math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions. The following errors can occur: Range error: result overflow   errno is set to ERANGE. An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised. Range error: result is subnormal or underflows   errno is set to ERANGE. An underflow floating-point exception (FE_UNDERFLOW) is raised.

ATTRIBUTESFor an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7). InterfaceAttributeValue nextafter(), nextafterf(), nextafterl(), nexttoward(), nexttowardf(), nexttowardl() Thread safetyMT-Safe

STANDARDSC99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008. This function is defined in IEC 559 (and the appendix with recommended functions in IEEE 754/IEEE 854).

BUGSIn glibc 2.5 and earlier, these functions do not raise an underflow floating-point (FE_UNDERFLOW) exception when an underflow occurs. Before glibc 2.23 these functions did not set errno.
