| 24 | .SH NAME | |
| c13182ef | 25 | ceil, ceilf, ceill \- ceiling function: smallest integral value not |
| 35478399 | 26 | less than argument |
| fea681da MK |

| 39 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 40 | These functions round \fIx\fP up to the nearest integer. | |
| 41 | .SH "RETURN VALUE" | |
| c13182ef MK |
42 | The rounded integer value. |
| 43 | If \fIx\fP is integral or infinite, | |
| fea681da MK |
44 | \fIx\fP itself is returned. |
| 45 | .SH ERRORS | |
| 46 | No errors other than EDOM and ERANGE can occur. | |
| 47 | If \fIx\fP is NaN, then NaN is returned and | |
| 48 | .I errno | |
| 49 | may be set to EDOM. | |
| 50 | .SH NOTES | |
| 68e1685c | 51 | SUSv2 and POSIX.1-2001 contain text about overflow (which might set |
| fea681da MK |
52 | .I errno |
| 53 | to ERANGE, or raise an exception). | |
| 54 | In practice, the result cannot overflow on any current machine, | |
| 55 | so this error-handling stuff is just nonsense. | |
| 56 | (More precisely, overflow can happen only when the maximum value | |
| 57 | of the exponent is smaller than the number of mantissa bits. | |
| 58 | For the IEEE-754 standard 32-bit and 64-bit floating point numbers | |
| 59 | the maximum value of the exponent is 128 (resp. 1024), and the number | |
| 60 | of mantissa bits is 24 (resp. 53).) | |
| 61 | .SH "CONFORMING TO" | |
| 62 | The | |
| 63aa9df0 | 63 | .BR ceil () |
| 68e1685c | 64 | function conforms to SVr4, POSIX.1-2001, 4.3BSD, C89, C99. |
| fea681da MK |
65 | The other functions are from C99. |
