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.
C99. This function is defined
in IEC 559 (and the appendix with recommended functions in IEEE 754/IEEE
854).
