CEIL(3P)                POSIX Programmer's Manual               CEIL(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

       ceil, ceilf, ceill — ceiling value function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       double ceil(double x);
       float ceilf(float x);
       long double ceill(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.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       These functions shall compute the smallest integral value not
       less than x.

RETURN VALUE

       The result shall have the same sign as x.

       Upon successful completion, ceil(), ceilf(), and ceill() shall
       return the smallest integral value not less than x, expressed as
       a type double, float, or long double, respectively.

       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

       If x is ±0 or ±Inf, x shall be returned.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       The integral value returned by these functions need not be
       expressible as an intmax_t.  The return value should be tested
       before assigning it to an integer type to avoid the undefined
       results of an integer overflow.

       These functions may raise the inexact floating-point exception if
       the result differs in value from the argument.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
