ceil, ceilf, ceill -- smallest integral value greater than or equal to x
LIBRARY
Math Library (libm, -lm)
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double
ceil(double x);
float
ceilf(float x);
long double
ceill(long double x);
DESCRIPTION
The ceil(), ceilf() and ceill() functions return the smallest integral value greater than or equal to x, expressed as a floating-point num-
ber.
SEE ALSO abs(3), fabs(3), floor(3), ieee(3), math(3), rint(3), round(3), trunc(3)STANDARDS
The ceil() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (``ISO C90''). The ceilf() and ceill() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999

ceil(3M) Mathematical Library Functions ceil(3M)NAME
ceil, ceilf, ceill - ceiling value function
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
#include <math.h>
double ceil(double x);
float ceilf(float x);
long double ceill(long double x);
DESCRIPTION
These functions compute the smallest integral value not less than x.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the ceil(), ceilf(), and ceill() functions return the smallest integral value not less than x, expressed as a
type double, float, or long double, respectively.
If x is NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is +-0 or +-Inf, x is returned.
USAGE
The integral value returned by these functions need not be expressible as an int or long int. The return value should be tested before
assigning it to an integer type to avoid the undefined results of an integer overflow.

Introduction
Originally, we only had one shell on unix. When ran a command, the shell would attempt to invoke one of the exec() system calls on it. It the command was an executable, the exec would succeed and the command would run. If the exec() failed, the shell would not give up, instead it... (3 Replies)

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:
$ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/cat

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)
