41.Ft double
42.Fn round "double x"
43.Ft float
44.Fn roundf "float x"

47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Fn round ,
50.Fn roundf ,
51and
52.Fn roundl
53functions return the nearest integral value to
54.Fa x ;
55if
56.Fa x
57lies halfway between two integral values, then these
58functions return the integral value with the larger
59absolute value (i.e., they round away from zero).
