.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions round their argument to the nearest integer value,
using the current rounding direction (see
.BR fesetround (3)).
.PP
Note that unlike the
.BR rint (3)
family of functions,
the return type of these functions differs from
that of their arguments.
.SH RETURN VALUE
These functions return the rounded integer value.
.PP
If
.I x
is a NaN or an infinity,
or the rounded value is too large to be stored in a
.I long
.RI ( "long long"
in the case of the
.B ll*
functions),
then a domain error occurs, and the return value is unspecified.
.\" The return value is -(LONG_MAX - 1) or -(LLONG_MAX -1)
.SH ERRORS
See
.BR math_error (7)
for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
when calling these functions.
.PP
The following errors can occur:
.TP
Domain error: \fIx\fP is a NaN or infinite, or the rounded value is too large
.\" .I errno
.\" is set to
.\" .BR EDOM .
An invalid floating-point exception
.RB ( FE_INVALID )
is raised.
.PP
These functions do not set
.IR errno .
.\" FIXME . Is it intentional that these functions do not set errno?
.\" Bug raised: http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6798
.SH VERSIONS
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
