    This conversion for each reciprocal axis follows VASP convention by
        N = max(1, int(l * |a|^* + 0.5))
    'int' means rounding down, not rounding to nearest integer.

    Parameters
    ----------
    length : float
        Length having the unit of direct space length.
    lattice : array_like
        Basis vectors of primitive cell in row vectors.
        dtype='double', shape=(3, 3)
    rotations: array_like, optional
        Rotation matrices in real space. When given, mesh numbers that are
        symmetrically reasonable are returned. Default is None.
        dtype='intc', shape=(rotations, 3, 3)

    Returns
    -------
    array_like
        dtype=int, shape=(3,)
