NAME

       numround - A program that rounds off numbers it encounters.

SYNOPSIS

       numround [-cdfhV] <FILE>

       | numround [-cdfhV]   (Input on STDIN from pipeline.)

       numround [-cdfhV]     (Input on STDIN.  Use Ctrl-D to stop.)

DESCRIPTION

       numround will simply round decimal numbers to the nearest integer or to
       a factor of any number using the -n option.  You can also force it to
       round up (ceiling) or round down(floor) using the -c and -f options.

OPTIONS

           -c      Force the number to be rounded up. Ceiling.
           -f      Force the number to be rounded down. Floor.
           -n <n>  Round numbers to the nearest factor of <n>.

           -h      Print out some helpful information about numround.
           -V      Increase verbosity.  This will print out numbers as it finds them.
           -d      Debug mode.  For developers only.

BUGS

       numround currently only rounds the first number on each line.
       Eventually this will be changed as all the numeric utilities are
       developed.

       numround will drop off the decimal places in decimal numbers.  This may
       cause some calculations to be in error, depending on how you are using
       the data.
