+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions return the smallest integral value that is not less than
+.IR x .
+.P
+For example,
+.I ceil(0.5)
+is 1.0, and
+.I ceil(\-0.5)
+is 0.0.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+These functions return the ceiling of
+.IR x .
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is integral, +0, \-0, NaN, or infinite,
+.I x
+itself is returned.
+.SH ERRORS
+No errors occur.
+POSIX.1-2001 documents a range error for overflows, but see NOTES.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
+For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
+.BR attributes (7).

+.SH STANDARDS
+C11, POSIX.1-2008.
+.SH HISTORY
+C99, POSIX.1-2001.
+.P
+The variant returning
+.I double
+also conforms to
+SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
+.SH NOTES
+SUSv2 and POSIX.1-2001 contain text about overflow (which might set
+.I errno
+to
+.BR ERANGE ,
+or raise an
+.B FE_OVERFLOW
+exception).
+In practice, the result cannot overflow on any current machine,
+so this error-handling stuff is just nonsense.
+.\" The POSIX.1-2001 APPLICATION USAGE SECTION discusses this point.
+(More precisely, overflow can happen only when the maximum value
+of the exponent is smaller than the number of mantissa bits.
+For the IEEE-754 standard 32-bit and 64-bit floating-point numbers
+the maximum value of the exponent is 127 (respectively, 1023),
+and the number of mantissa bits
+including the implicit bit
+is 24 (respectively, 53).)
+.P
+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.
