-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.BR nextafter (),
-.BR nextafterf (),
-and
-.BR nextafterl ()
-functions return the next representable floating-point value following
-.I x
-in the direction of
-.IR y .
-If
-.I y
-is less than
-.IR x ,
-these functions will return the largest representable number less than
-.IR x .
-.PP
-If
-.I x
-equals
-.IR y ,
-the functions return
-.IR y .
-.PP
-The
-.BR nexttoward (),
-.BR nexttowardf (),
-and
-.BR nexttowardl ()
-functions do the same as the corresponding
-.BR nextafter ()
-functions, except that they have a
-.I "long double"
-second argument.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-On success,
-these functions return the next representable floating-point value after
-.I x
-in the direction of
-.IR y .
-.PP
-If
-.I x
-equals
-.IR y ,
-then
-.I y
-(cast to the same type as
-.IR x )
-is returned.
-.PP
-If
-.I x
-or
-.I y
-is a NaN,
-a NaN is returned.
-.PP
-If
-.I x
-is finite,
-.\" e.g., DBL_MAX
-and the result would overflow,
-a range error occurs,
-and the functions return
-.BR HUGE_VAL ,
-.BR HUGE_VALF ,
-or
-.BR HUGE_VALL ,
-respectively, with the correct mathematical sign.
-.PP
-If
-.I x
-is not equal to
-.IR y ,
-and the correct function result would be subnormal, zero, or underflow,
-a range error occurs,
-and either the correct value (if it can be represented),
-or 0.0, is returned.
-.SH ERRORS
-See
-.BR math_error (7)
-for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
-when calling these functions.
-.PP
-The following errors can occur:
-.TP
-Range error: result overflow
-.\" e.g., nextafter(DBL_MAX, HUGE_VAL);
-.I errno
-is set to
-.BR ERANGE .
-An overflow floating-point exception
-.RB ( FE_OVERFLOW )
-is raised.
-.TP
-Range error: result is subnormal or underflows
-.\" e.g., nextafter(DBL_MIN, 0.0);
-.I errno
-is set to
-.BR ERANGE .
-An underflow floating-point exception
-.RB ( FE_UNDERFLOW )
-is raised.

-.SH STANDARDS

-This function is defined in IEC 559 (and the appendix with

-.SH HISTORY
-C99, POSIX.1-2001.
-.SH BUGS
-In glibc 2.5 and earlier, these functions do not raise an underflow
-floating-point
-.RB ( FE_UNDERFLOW )
-exception when an underflow occurs.
-.PP
-Before glibc 2.23
-.\" https://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6799
