<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
These functions return the smallest integral value that is not less than
|
|
<I>x</I>.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
For example,
|
|
<I>ceil(0.5)</I>
|
|
|
|
is 1.0, and
|
|
<I>ceil(-0.5)</I>
|
|
|
|
is 0.0.
|
|
<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>
|
|
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
|
|
|
|
These functions return the ceiling of
|
|
<I>x</I>.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
<I>x</I>
|
|
|
|
is integral, +0, -0, NaN, or infinite,
|
|
<I>x</I>
|
|
|
|
itself is returned.
|
|
<A NAME="lbAF"> </A>
|
|
<H2>ERRORS</H2>
|
|
|
|
No errors occur.
|
|
POSIX.1-2001 documents a range error for overflows, but see NOTES.

<H2>CONFORMING TO</H2>
|
|
|
|
C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The variant returning
|
|
<I>double</I>
|
|
|
|
also conforms to
|
|
SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
|
|
<A NAME="lbAI"> </A>
|
|
<H2>NOTES</H2>
|
|
|
|
SUSv2 and POSIX.1-2001 contain text about overflow (which might set
|
|
<I>errno</I>
|
|
|
|
to
|
|
<B>ERANGE</B>,
|
|
|
|
or raise an
|
|
<B>FE_OVERFLOW</B>
|
|
|
|
exception).
|
|
In practice, the result cannot overflow on any current machine,
|
|
so this error-handling stuff is just nonsense.
|
|
|
|
(More precisely, overflow can happen only when the maximum value
|
|
of the exponent is smaller than the number of mantissa bits.
|
|
For the IEEE-754 standard 32-bit and 64-bit floating-point numbers
|
|
the maximum value of the exponent is 128 (respectively, 1024),
|
|
and the number of mantissa bits is 24 (respectively, 53).)
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The integral value returned by these functions may be too large
|
|
to store in an integer type
|
|
(<I>int</I>,
|
|
|
|
<I>long</I>,
|
|
|
|
etc.).
|
|
To avoid an overflow, which will produce undefined results,
|
|
an application should perform a range check on the returned value
|
|
before assigning it to an integer type.
