31.Dt ROUNDUP 9
32.Os
33.Sh NAME
34.Nm roundup
35.Nd macros for counting and rounding
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.In sys/param.h
38.Ft size
39.Fn howmany "x" "size"
40.Ft size
41.Fn roundup "x" "size"
42.Ft size
43.Fn rounddown "x" "size"
44.Ft size
45.Fn roundup2 "x" "size"
46.Ft int
47.Fn powerof2 "x"
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Fn roundup
51and
52.Fn rounddown
53macros return an integer from rounding
54.Fa x
55up and down, respectively, to the next
56.Fa size .
57The
58.Fn howmany
59macro in turn reveals how many times
60.Fa size
61fits into
62.Fa x ,
63rounding the residual up.
64.Pp
65The
66.Fn roundup2
67macro also rounds up, but with the assumption that
68.Fa size
69is a power of two.
70If
71.Fa x
72is indeed a power of two,
73.Fn powerof2
74return 1.
75.Sh RETURN VALUES
76The return value is an integer from the respective operation.
77If
78.Fa x
79is 0, all macros except
80.Fn powerof2
81return 0.
82The behavior is undefined if
83.Fa size
84is 0.
85.Sh SEE ALSO
86.Xr ilog2 3 ,
87.Xr imax 9
88.Sh CAVEATS
89All described macros make no assumptions about the type of the parameters.
90These are implicitly assumed to be unsigned integers.
