36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.In math.h
38.Ft double
39.Fn round "double x"
40.Ft float
41.Fn roundf "float x"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Fn round
45and
46.Fn roundf
47functions return the nearest integral value to
48.Fa x ;
49if
50.Fa x
51lies halfway between two integral values, then these
52functions return the integral value with the larger
53absolute value (i.e., they round away from zero).
