FLOOR(3)                   POSIX Programmer's Manual                  FLOOR(3)



PPRROOLLOOGG
       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       OS manual page for details of OS behavior), or the interface may not be
       implemented on OS.

NNAAMMEE
       floor, floorf, floorl -- floor function

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
       #include <math.h>

       double floor(double _x);
       float floorf(float _x);
       long double floorl(long double _x);

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
       ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here
       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2017
       defers to the ISO C standard.

       These functions shall compute the largest integral value not greater
       than _x.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       The result shall have the same sign as _x.

       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the largest
       integral value not greater than _x, expressed as a ddoouubbllee, ffllooaatt, or
       lloonngg ddoouubbllee, as appropriate for the return type of the function.

       If _x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

       If _x is +-0 or +-Inf, _x shall be returned.

EERRRROORRSS
       No errors are defined.

AAPPPPLLIICCAATTIIOONN UUSSAAGGEE
       The integral value returned by these functions might not be expressible
       as an iinnttmmaaxx__tt.  The return value should be tested before assigning it
       to an integer type to avoid the undefined results of an integer
       overflow.

       These functions may raise the inexact floating-point exception if the
       result differs in value from the argument.
