+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions round
+.I x
+to the nearest integer, but
+round halfway cases away from zero (regardless of the current rounding
+direction, see
+.BR fenv (3)),
+instead of to the nearest even integer like
+.BR rint (3).
+.P
+For example,
+.I round(0.5)
+is 1.0, and
+.I round(\-0.5)
+is \-1.0.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+These functions return the rounded integer value.
+.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

+.SH HISTORY
+glibc 2.1.
+C99, POSIX.1-2001.
+.SH NOTES
+POSIX.1-2001 contains 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
+If you want to store the rounded value in an integer type,
+you probably want to use one of the functions described in
+.BR lround (3)
+instead.
