</DL>
<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
These functions round
<I>x</I>
to the nearest integer, but
round halfway cases away from zero (regardless of the current rounding
direction, see
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+fenv">fenv</A></B>(3)),
instead of to the nearest even integer like
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+rint">rint</A></B>(3).
<P>
For example,
<I>round(0.5)</I>
is 1.0, and
<I>round(-0.5)</I>
is -1.0.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
These functions return the rounded integer value.
<P>
If
<I>x</I>
is integral, +0, -0, NaN, or infinite,
<I>x</I>
itself is returned.
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>ERRORS</H2>
No errors occur.
POSIX.1-2001 documents a range error for overflows, but see NOTES.
<A NAME="lbAG">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>VERSIONS</H2>
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
<A NAME="lbAH">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>ATTRIBUTES</H2>
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?7+attributes">attributes</A></B>(7).

<H2>CONFORMING TO</H2>
C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
<A NAME="lbAJ">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>NOTES</H2>
POSIX.1-2001 contains 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>
If you want to store the rounded value in an integer type,
you probably want to use one of the functions described in
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+lround">lround</A></B>(3)
instead.
