ilogb(3M)																 ilogb(3M)

NAME

       ilogb(), ilogbf(), ilogbl(), ilogbw(), ilogbq() - radix-independent exponent functions

SYNOPSIS

   Integrity Server Only
DESCRIPTION

       The  function computes the exponent of the floating point value x.  Formally, the return value is the integral part of log base r of |x| as
       a signed integral value, for nonzero x, where r is the radix of the machine's floating-point arithmetic.  The radix r is 2  on  HP-UX  sys-
       tems.

       If x is denormal it is treated as though it were normalized before the exponent is determined.

       Note: is equivalent to for all values of x

   Integrity Servers Only
       is a version of it takes a argument.

       is equivalent to on HP-UX systems.

USAGE

       To use these functions, compile either with the default option or with the and options.

       To use (for Integrity servers) or compile also with the option.

       Make sure your program includes Link in the math library by specifying on the compiler or linker command line.

RETURN VALUE

       If x is NaN, returns

       If x returns

       If x is zero, returns

   Integrity Servers Only
       If x is NaN, +-INFINITY, or zero, then the invalid floating-point exception is raised (as specified by C99 TC2)

       The macros and are defined in

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.
