<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
These functions return the largest integral value that is not greater than
<I>x</I>.
<P>
For example,
<I>floor(0.5)</I>
is 0.0, and
<I>floor(-0.5)</I>
is -1.0.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
These functions return the floor of
<I>x</I>.
<P>
If
<I>x</I>
is integral, +0, -0, NaN, or an infinity,
<I>x</I>
itself is returned.
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>ERRORS</H2>
No errors occur.
POSIX.1-2001 documents a range error for overflows, but see NOTES.
<A NAME="lbAG">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>ATTRIBUTES</H2>
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?7+attributes">attributes</A></B>(7).

<H2>CONFORMING TO</H2>
C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
<P>
The variant returning
<I>double</I>
also conforms to
SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
<A NAME="lbAI">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>NOTES</H2>
SUSv2 and POSIX.1-2001 contain text about overflow (which might set
<I>errno</I>
to
<B>ERANGE</B>,
or raise an
<B>FE_OVERFLOW</B>
exception).
In practice, the result cannot overflow on any current machine,
so this error-handling stuff is just nonsense.
(More precisely, overflow can happen only when the maximum value
of the exponent is smaller than the number of mantissa bits.
For the IEEE-754 standard 32-bit and 64-bit floating-point numbers
the maximum value of the exponent is 128 (respectively, 1024),
and the number of mantissa bits is 24 (respectively, 53).)
