ROUND(3P)                 POSIX Programmer's Manual                ROUND(3P)

PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
       the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       round, roundf, roundl — round to the nearest integer value in a
       floating-point format

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <math.h>
       double round(double x);
       float roundf(float x);
       long double roundl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with
       the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described
       here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of
       POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
       These functions shall round their argument to the nearest integer
       value in floating-point format, rounding halfway cases away from
       zero, regardless of the current rounding direction.

RETURN VALUE         top

       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the rounded
       integer value.  The result shall have the same sign as x.
       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
       If x is ±0 or ±Inf, x shall be returned.

ERRORS         top

       No errors are defined.
       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES         top

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE         top

       The integral value returned by these functions need not be
       expressible as an intmax_t.  The return value should be tested before
       assigning it to an integer type to avoid the undefined results of an
       integer overflow.
       These functions may raise the inexact floating-point exception if the
       result differs in value from the argument.

RATIONALE         top

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS         top

       None.
