LROUND(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual LROUND(3P)
PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
lround, lroundf, lroundl -- round to nearest integer value
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
long lround(double x);
long lroundf(float x);
long lroundl(long double x);
DESCRIPTION
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here
and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008
defers to the ISO C standard.
These functions shall round their argument to the nearest integer
value, rounding halfway cases away from zero, regardless of the current
rounding direction.
An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno
to zero and call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these
functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID |
FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has
occurred.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the rounded
integer value.
If x is NaN, a domain error shall occur and an unspecified value is
returned.
If x is +Inf, a domain error shall occur and an unspecified value is
returned.
If x is -Inf, a domain error shall occur and an unspecified value is
returned.
If the correct value is positive and too large to represent as a long,
an unspecified value shall be returned. On systems that support the
IEC 60559 Floating-Point option, a domain shall occur; otherwise, a
domain error may occur.
If the correct value is negative and too large to represent as a long,
an unspecified value shall be returned. On systems that support the
IEC 60559 Floating-Point option, a domain shall occur; otherwise, a
domain error may occur.
ERRORS
These functions shall fail if:
Domain Error
The x argument is NaN or +-Inf, or the correct value is not
representable as an integer.
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO)
is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [EDOM]. If the
integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is
non-zero, then the invalid floating-point exception shall
be raised.
These functions may fail if:
Domain Error
The correct value is not representable as an integer.
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO)
is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [EDOM]. If the
integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is
non-zero, then the invalid floating-point exception shall
be raised.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
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.
RATIONALE
These functions differ from the lrint() functions in the default round-
ing direction, with the lround() functions rounding halfway cases away
from zero and needing not to raise the inexact floating-point exception
for non-integer arguments that round to within the range of the return
type.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
