trunc(3) Library Functions Manual trunc(3)

trunc, truncf, truncl - round to integer, toward zero

Math library (libm, -lm)

#include <math.h>
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

These functions round x to the nearest integer value that is not larger in magnitude than x.

These functions return the rounded integer value, in floating format.

If x is integral, infinite, or NaN, x itself is returned.

No errors occur.

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.
