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.

VERSIONS

These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.

ATTRIBUTES

For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see *attributes*(7).

Interface Attribute Value

CONFORMING TO

C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.

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.
