get_next_posts_link( string $label = null, int $max_page )

Retrieves the next posts page link.

Parameters

$label

(string) (Optional) Content for link text.

Default value: null

$max_page

(int) (Optional) Max pages. Default 0.

Return

(string|void) HTML-formatted next posts page link.

More Information

Gets a link to the previous set of posts within the current query.

Because post queries are usually sorted in reverse chronological order, get_next_posts_link() usually points to older entries (toward the end of the set) and get_previous_posts_link() usually points to newer entries (toward the beginning of the set).

Source

File: wp-includes/link-template.php 

function get_next_posts_link( $label = null, $max_page = 0 ) {
	global $paged, $wp_query;

	if ( ! $max_page ) {
		$max_page = $wp_query->max_num_pages;
	}

	if ( ! $paged ) {
		$paged = 1;
	}

	$nextpage = intval( $paged ) + 1;

	if ( null === $label ) {
		$label = __( 'Next Page »' );
	}

	if ( ! is_single() && ( $nextpage <= $max_page ) ) {
		/**
		 * Filters the anchor tag attributes for the next posts page link.
		 *
		 * @since 2.7.0
		 *
		 * @param string $attributes Attributes for the anchor tag.
		 */
		$attr = apply_filters( 'next_posts_link_attributes', '' );

		return '<a href="' . next_posts( $max_page, false ) . "\" $attr>" . preg_replace( '/&([^#])(?![a-z]{1,8};)/i', '&#038;$1', $label ) . '</a>';
