BOOTSTRAP (klibm) functions


LIBRARY ROUTINE

kceil - compute the ceiling of the argument.

LIBRARY CALL

double kceil(double x)

INPUT

OUTPUT

none

RETURN VALUE

the double precision ceiling of the input argument.

DESCRIPTION

The kceil function computes the least integral value (smallest integer value) greater than or equal to the input argument and returns it as a double.

This is provided in all POSIX and X/OPEN compliant C math libraries. Currently kceil is simply a macro to ceil because Khoros does not run on any machine whose math library does not include this function. If Khoros is ported to a machine without this function then a replacement will be written.
