N
Network Receives network-specific data each time it is coded by the kernel user and called by generic data link control (GDLC).
name2inst Retrieves instances of variables from various forms of data.
nan Returns quiet NaN.
nanf Returns quiet NaN.
nanl Returns quiet NaN.
nearbyint Rounds numbers to an integer value in floating-point format.
nearbyintf Rounds numbers to an integer value in floating-point format.
nearbyintl Rounds numbers to an integer value in floating-point format.
nearest The floor subroutine, floorf subroutine, floorl subroutine, nearest subroutine, and trunc subroutine, round floating-point numbers to floating-point integer values. The itrunc subroutine and uitrunc subroutine round floating-point numbers to signed and unsigned integers, respectively.
netname2host Converts an operating-system-independent network name to a domain-specific host name.
netname2user Converts from an operating-system-independent network name to a domain-specific user number (UID).
newpad Pad management functions
newpass Generates a new password for a user.
newterm Initializes curses and its data structures.
newwin Window creation subroutines.
next2inst Retrieves instances of variables from various forms of data.
nextafter Computes the next representable floating-point number.
nextafterf Computes the next representable floating-point number.
nextafterl Computes the next representable floating-point number.
nextgroup Accesses the group information in the user database.

nexttoward Computes the next representable floating-point number.
nexttowardf Computes the next representable floating-point number.
nexttowardl Computes the next representable floating-point number.
nextuser Accesses the user information in the user database.
nextusracl Accesses the user screen information in the SMIT ACL database.
