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. SEE ALSO

nearbyint, nearbyintf, nearbyintl - floating-point rounding functions SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> double nearbyint(double x); float nearbyintf(float x); long double nearbyintl(long double x); DESCRIPTION
These functions shall round their argument to an integer value in floating-point format, using the current rounding direction and without raising the inexact floating-point exception. 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, +-0 shall be returned. If x is +-Inf, x shall be returned. If the correct value would cause overflow, a range error shall occur and nearbyint(), nearbyintf(), and nearbyintl() shall return the value of the macro +-HUGE_VAL, +-HUGE_VALF, and +-HUGE_VALL (with the same sign as x), respectively.
