ROUND(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual ROUND(3P)
PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
round, roundf, roundl - round to the nearest integer value in a floating-point format
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double round(double x);
float roundf(float x);
long double roundl(long double x);
DESCRIPTION
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.
An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to zero and call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these
functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error
has occurred.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the rounded integer value.
If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
If x is +-0 or +-Inf, x shall be returned.
If the correct value would cause overflow, a range error shall occur and round(), roundf(), and roundl() shall return the value of the
macro +-HUGE_VAL, +-HUGE_VALF, and +-HUGE_VALL (with the same sign as x), respectively.
ERRORS
These functions may fail if:
Range Error
The result overflows.
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the integer expression
(math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the overflow floating-point exception shall be raised.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but at
least one of them must be non-zero.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
