NAME
       nextafter, nextafterf, nextafterl, nexttoward, nexttowardf, nexttowardl
       - 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);

       Link with -lm.

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.  Otherwise 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 recom‐
       mended functions in IEEE 754/IEEE 854).
