.SH NAME
round, roundf, roundl \- round to the nearest integer value in a floating-point
format
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
\fB#include <math.h>
.br
.sp
double round(double\fP \fIx\fP\fB);
.br
float roundf(float\fP \fIx\fP\fB);
.br
long double roundl(long double\fP \fIx\fP\fB);

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
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.
.LP
An application wishing to check for error situations should set \fIerrno\fP
to zero and call
\fIfeclearexcept\fP(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions.
On return, if \fIerrno\fP is non-zero or
\fIfetestexcept\fP(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW)
is non-zero, an error has occurred.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the rounded
integer value.
.LP
If
\fIx\fP is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
.LP
If \fIx\fP is \(+-0 or \(+-Inf, \fIx\fP shall be returned. 
.LP
If the correct value would cause overflow, a range error shall occur
and \fIround\fP(), \fIroundf\fP(), and \fIroundl\fP() shall
return the value of the macro \(+-HUGE_VAL, \(+-HUGE_VALF, and \(+-HUGE_VALL
(with the same sign as \fIx\fP),
respectively. 
.SH ERRORS
.LP
These functions may fail if:
.TP 7
Range\ Error
The result overflows. 
.LP
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero,
then \fIerrno\fP 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.
.sp
.LP
\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
None.
.SH APPLICATION USAGE
.LP
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.
.SH RATIONALE
.LP
None.
.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
.LP
None.
