NAME

ilogb, ilogbf, ilogbl, logb, logbf, logbl – extract exponent

CONTENTS

LIBRARY

Math Library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h>

int
ilogb(double x);

int
ilogbf(float x);

int
ilogbl(long double x);

double
logb(double x);

float
logbf(float x);

long double
logbl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION

ilogb(), ilogbf() and ilogbl() return x, Ns, 's, exponent in integer format. ilogb(&#177;∞) returns INT_MAX, ilogb(&#177;NaN) returns FP_ILOGBNAN, and ilogb() returns FP_ILOGB0.

logb(x), logbf(x), and logbl(x) return x, Ns, 's, exponent in floating-point format with the same precision as x. logb(&#177;∞) returns +∞, and logb() returns -∞ with a division by zero exception.

SEE ALSO

frexp(3), ieee(3), math(3), scalbn(3)

STANDARDS

The ilogb(), ilogbf(), ilogbl(), logb(), logbf(), and logbl() routines conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 ("ISO C99"). The latter three implement the logb function recommended by -ieee754.
