LROUND(3) Library Functions Manual LROUND(3)

lround lroundf lroundl — round to nearest integer value

#include <math.h>

long lround(double x);
long lroundf(float x);
long lroundl(long double x);

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 IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”) 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 (FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or (FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred.

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, a domain error shall occur and an unspecified value is returned.

If the correct value is negative and too large to represent as a long, a domain error shall occur and an unspecified value is returned.

These functions shall fail if:

[MX] 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.

None.

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.

These functions differ from the lrint(3) functions in the default rounding 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.

None.
