The nextafter(), nextafterf(), and nextafterl() functions return
the next representable floating-point value following x in the
direction of y. If y is less than x, these functions will return
the largest representable number less than x.
If x equals y, the functions return y.
The nexttoward(), nexttowardf(), and nexttowardl() functions do
the same as the corresponding nextafter() functions, except that
they have a long double second argument.
On success, these functions return the next representable
floating-point value after x in the direction of y.
If x equals y, then y (cast to the same type as x) is returned.
If x or y is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is finite, and the result would overflow, a range error
occurs, and the functions return HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or
HUGE_VALL, respectively, with the correct mathematical sign.
If x is not equal to 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.
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an
error has occurred when calling these functions.
The following errors can occur:
Range error: result overflow
errno is set to ERANGE. An overflow floating-point
exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.
Range error: result is subnormal or underflows
errno is set to ERANGE. An underflow floating-point
exception (FE_UNDERFLOW) is raised.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).

C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008. This function is defined in IEC
559 (and the appendix with recommended functions in IEEE 754/IEEE
854).
In glibc version 2.5 and earlier, these functions do not raise an
underflow floating-point (FE_UNDERFLOW) exception when an
underflow occurs.
Before glibc version 2.23 these functions did not set errno.
