CEIL(3) BSD Library Functions Manual CEIL(3)NAME
ceil -- round to smallest integral value not less than x
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double
ceil(double x);
float
ceilf(float x);
DESCRIPTION
The ceil() and ceilf() functions return the smallest integral value greater than or equal to x.
SPECIAL VALUES
ceil(+-0) returns +-0.
ceil(+-infinity) returns +-infinity.
SEE ALSO abs(3), fabs(3), floor(3), ieee(3), rint(3), math(3)STANDARDS
The ceil() and ceilf() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999(E).

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.

Good morning,
I'm testing the use of ceilf:
/*Filename: str.c*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main (void)
{
float ceilf(float x);
int dev=3, result=0;
float tmp = 3.444f;
printf("Result: %f\n",ceilf(tmp));
return 0;

Dear guys;
How can I get the ceiling value of any floating number using shell or awk scripts or functions.
Example:-
old values "7.2" or "7.8" or "7.5" --->>> ceiling function ---->>> new value "8".

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to simulate a ceiling or floor function in UNIX? OS is Solaris. I tried the suggestion from an old forum but it is giving me error as below:
server01/tmp$: echo "7.2" | awk '{printf("%d\n",$0+=$0<0?0:0.999)}'
awk: syntax error near line 1

Hi,
I have the following code in which i am trying to find ceil of 10th & 11th fields. For finding ceil i have a function in the awk statement. When i test it for some values say on command line it gives correct response(say $10=0 & $11=750). But when the same value occurs in a file having more 3... (5 Replies)
