C99, POSIX.1-2001. .SH NOTES The integral value returned by these functions may be too large to store in an integer type .RI ( int , .IR long , etc.). To avoid an overflow, which will produce undefined results, an application should perform a range check on the returned value before assigning it to an integer type. .SH SEE ALSO .BR ceil (3), .BR floor (3), .BR lrint (3), .BR nearbyint (3), .BR rint (3), .BR round (3)
