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

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.
See DESCRIPTION.
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.24.
These functions are described in IEEE Std 754-2008 - Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic
and ISO/IEC TS 18661
.
