+.SH NAME
+roundup \- round up in steps
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library
+.RI ( libc )
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <sys/param.h>
+.PP
+.BI roundup( x ", " step );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This macro rounds
+.I x
+to the nearest multiple of
+.I step
+that is not less than
+.IR x .
+.PP
+It is typically used for
+rounding up a pointer to align it or
+increasing a buffer to be allocated.
+.PP
+This API is not designed to be generic,
+and doesn't work in some cases
+that are not important for the typical use cases described above.
+See CAVEATS.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+This macro returns the rounded value.
+.SH STANDARDS
+None.
+.SH CAVEATS
+The arguments may be evaluated more than once.
+.PP
+.I x
+should be nonnegative,
+and
+.I step
+should be positive.
+.PP
+If
+.I x + step
+would overflow or wrap around,
+the behavior is undefined.
