trunc(3) Library Functions Manual trunc(3) NAME trunc, truncf, truncl - round to integer, toward zero LIBRARY Math library (libm, -lm) SYNOPSIS #include double trunc(double x); float truncf(float x); long double truncl(long double x); Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): trunc(), truncf(), truncl(): _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L DESCRIPTION These functions round x to the nearest integer value that is not larger in magnitude than x. RETURN VALUE These functions return the rounded integer value, in floating format. If x is integral, infinite, or NaN, x itself is returned. ERRORS No errors occur. ATTRIBUTES For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7). +--------------------------------------------+---------------+---------+ |Interface | Attribute | Value | +--------------------------------------------+---------------+---------+ |trunc (), truncf (), truncl () | Thread safety | MT-Safe | +--------------------------------------------+---------------+---------+ STANDARDS C11, POSIX.1-2008. HISTORY glibc 2.1. C99, POSIX.1-2001. NOTES The integral value returned by these functions may be too large to store in an integer type (int, long, etc.). To avoid an overflow, which will produce undefined results, an application should perform a range check on the returned value before assigning it to an integer type.
