+.SH NAME
+ceil, ceilf, ceill \- ceiling value function
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <math.h>
+.br
+.sp
+double ceil(double\fP \fIx\fP\fB);
+.br
+float ceilf(float\fP \fIx\fP\fB);
+.br
+long double ceill(long double\fP \fIx\fP\fB);

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+These functions shall compute the smallest integral value not less
+than \fIx\fP.
+.LP
+An application wishing to check for error situations should set \fIerrno\fP
+to zero and call
+\fIfeclearexcept\fP(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions.
+On return, if \fIerrno\fP is non-zero or
+\fIfetestexcept\fP(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW)
+is non-zero, an error has occurred.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+Upon successful completion, \fIceil\fP(), \fIceilf\fP(), and \fIceill\fP()
+shall return the smallest integral value not less
+than \fIx\fP, expressed as a type \fBdouble\fP, \fBfloat\fP, or \fBlong
+double\fP, respectively.
+.LP
+If
+\fIx\fP is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
+.LP
+If \fIx\fP is \(+-0 or \(+-Inf, \fIx\fP shall be returned. 
+.LP
+If the correct value would cause overflow, a range error shall occur
+and \fIceil\fP(), \fIceilf\fP(), and \fIceill\fP() shall
+return the value of the macro HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, and HUGE_VALL,
+respectively. 
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+These functions shall fail if:
+.TP 7
+Range\ Error
+The result overflows. 
+.LP
+If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero,
+then \fIerrno\fP shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the
+integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero,
+then the overflow floating-point exception shall be raised.
+.sp
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
+.LP
+The integral value returned by these functions need not be expressible
+as an \fBint\fP or \fBlong\fP. The return value should
+be tested before assigning it to an integer type to avoid the undefined
+results of an integer overflow.
+.LP
+The \fIceil\fP() function can only overflow when the floating-point
+representation has DBL_MANT_DIG > DBL_MAX_EXP.
+.LP
+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.
+.SH RATIONALE
+.LP
+None.
+.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
+.LP
+None.
