SCALBN(3) BSD Library Functions Manual SCALBN(3)NAME
scalbn, scalbln
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double
scalbn(double x, int n);
float
scalbnf(float x, int n);
double
scalbln(double x, long int n);
float
scalblnf(float x, long int n);
DESCRIPTION
The scalbn() , scalbnf() , scalbln() , and scalblnf() functions return x*(2**n) computed by exponent manipulation.
SPECIAL VALUES
scalbn(+-0, n) returns +-0.
scalbn(x, 0) returns x.
scalbn(+-infinity, n) returns +-infinity.
scalbln() has the same special values.
SEE ALSO math(3), ldexp(3)STANDARDS
The scalbn() , scalbnf() , scalbln() , and scalblnf() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999(E).

scalbln(3M) Mathematical Library Functions scalbln(3M)NAME
scalbln, scalblnf, scalblnl, scalbn, scalbnf, scalbnl - compute exponent using FLT_RADIX
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
#include <math.h>
double scalbln(double x, long n);
float scalblnf(float x, long n);
long double scalblnl(long double x, long n);
double scalbn(double x, int n);
float scalbnf(float x, int n);
long double scalbnl(long double x, int n);
DESCRIPTION
These functions compute x * FLT_RADIX**n efficiently, not normally by computing FLT_RADIX**n explicitly.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, these functions return x * FLT_RADIX**n.
If the result would cause overflow, a range error occurs and these functions return +-HUGE_VAL, +-HUGE_VALF, and +-HUGE_VALL (according to
the sign of x) as appropriate for the return type of the function.
If x is NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is +-0 or +-Inf, x is returned.
If x is 0, x is returned.
ERRORS
These functions will fail if:
Range Error The result overflows.
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the overflow floating-point exception is
raised.
USAGE
An application wanting to check for exceptions should call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if
fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an exception has been raised. An application should
either examine the return value or check the floating point exception flags to detect exceptions.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.
Here are some examples of what I've tried:
12FX009:5 dpontius$ ls
ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘
12FX009:5 dpontius$ rm... (29 Replies)
