 NAME
      floor, ceil, fmod, fabs, rint, fabsf, fmodf - floor, ceiling,
      remainder, absolute value, and round-to-nearest functions

 SYNOPSIS
      #include <math.h>

      double floor(double x);

      double ceil(double x);

      double fmod(double x, double y);

      double fabs(double x);

      double rint(double x);

      float fabsf(float x);

      float fmodf(float x, float y);

 DESCRIPTION
      floor() returns the largest integer (as a double-precision number) not
      greater than x.

      ceil() returns the smallest integer not less than x.

      fmod() returns the floating-point remainder (f) of the division of x
      by y, where f has the same sign as x, such that x=iy+f for some
      integer i, and |f| < |y|.

      fabs() returns the absolute value of x, |x|.

      rint() returns the integer (represented as a double precision number)
      nearest x in the direction of the prevailing rounding mode.

      fabsf() and fmodf() are float versions of fabs() and fmod(); they take
      float arguments and return float results.  Their performance is
      significantly faster than that of the double versions.  Programs must
      be compiled in ANSI mode (with the -Aa option) in order to use these
      functions; otherwise, the compiler promotes the float arguments to
      double, and the functions return incorrect results.

 DEPENDENCIES
    Series 300/400
      fabsf(), fmodf(), and rint() are not supported on Series 300/400
      systems.

    Series 700/800
      fabsf(), fmodf(), and rint() are not specified by any standard
      (fabsf() and fmodf() are, however, named in accordance with the

 floor(3M)                                                         floor(3M)





      conventions specified in the "Future Library Directions" section of
      the ANSI C standard).  These functions are provided in the PA1.1
      versions of the math library only.  The +DA1.1 linker option (default
      on Series 700 systems) links in a PA1.1 version automatically.  A
      PA1.1 library can also be linked in explicitly.  For more information,
      see the HP-UX Floating-Point Guide.

    /lib/libm.a
      When x is _INFINITY, floor(), ceil(), and rint() return _INFINITY
      respectively.

      fabs() returns +INFINITY when x is _INFINITY.

      fmod() returns x if y is 0.0, if x/y would overflow, or if x/y would
      underflow (including when y is _INFINITY).

    /lib/libM.a
      No error messages are printed on the standard error output.

      When x is _INFINITY, floor(), ceil(), and rint() return _INFINITY
      respectively.

      fabs() returns +INFINITY when x is _INFINITY.

      fmod() returns 0.0 if x/y would overflow, or x if x/y would underflow
      (including when y is _INFINITY).

 NOTES
      In the default rounding mode (round to nearest), on a machine that
      conforms to the IEEE-754 standard, rint(x) is the integer nearest x
      with the additional stipulation that if |rint(x)-x|=1/2, then rint(x)
      is even.  Other rounding modes can make rint() act like floor(), or
      like ceil(), or round toward 0.

      Another way to obtain an integer near x is to declare (in C):

           double x;  int k;  k = x;

      The HP C compiler rounds x toward 0 to get the integer k.  Note that
      if x is larger than k can accommodate, the value of k and the presence
      or absence of an integer overflow are hard to predict.

 ERRORS
    /lib/libm.a
      floor() and ceil() return NaN and set errno to EDOM when x is NaN.

      fmod() returns NaN and sets errno to EDOM when x or y is NaN, or when
      x is _INFINITY.

      fabs() returns NaN and sets errno to EDOM when x is NaN.

    /lib/libM.a
      floor() and ceil() return NaN and set errno to EDOM when x is NaN.

      fmod() returns NaN and sets errno to EDOM when y is 0.0, when x or y
      is NaN, or when x is _INFINITY.

      fabs() returns NaN and sets errno to EDOM when x is NaN.
