The long long int knowledge seems like it will be very helpful along with the unsigned math you showed. The strtoll() I am sure is helpful, I am just not too sure yet what to do with it. Thanks.

Hi!
What is the way to get the binary representation of a IEEE 754 (like 0001110110001111010101100111001011100100101010111101) without using perl. Bash for example, would be fine.
I need to put that representation in a string for some operation and then to put that string back in a float.

strtol
STRTOL(3) Linux Programmer's Manual STRTOL(3)
NAME
strtol, strtoll, strtoq - convert a string to a long integer.
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
long int
strtol(const char *nptr, char **endptr, int base);
long long int
strtoll(const char *nptr, char **endptr, int base);
DESCRIPTION
The strtol() function converts the initial part of the string in nptr to a long integer value according to the given base, which must be
between 2 and 36 inclusive, or be the special value 0.
The string must begin with an arbitrary amount of white space (as determined by isspace(3)) followed by a single optional `+' or `-' sign.
If base is zero or 16, the string may then include a `0x' prefix, and the number will be read in base 16; otherwise, a zero base is taken
as 10 (decimal) unless the next character is `0', in which case it is taken as 8 (octal).
The remainder of the string is converted to a long int value in the obvious manner, stopping at the first character which is not a valid
digit in the given base. (In bases above 10, the letter `A' in either upper or lower case represents 10, `B' represents 11, and so forth,
with `Z' representing 35.)
If endptr is not NULL, strtol() stores the address of the first invalid character in *endptr. If there were no digits at all, strtol()
stores the original value of nptr in *endptr (and returns 0). In particular, if *nptr is not ` ' but **endptr is ` ' on return, the
entire string is valid.
The strtoll() function works just like the strtol() function but returns a long long integer value.
RETURN VALUE
The strtol() function returns the result of the conversion, unless the value would underflow or overflow. If an underflow occurs, strtol()
returns LONG_MIN. If an overflow occurs, strtol() returns LONG_MAX. In both cases, errno is set to ERANGE. Precisely the same holds for
strtoll() (with LLONG_MIN and LLONG_MAX instead of LONG_MIN and LONG_MAX).
ERRORS
ERANGE The resulting value was out of range.
EINVAL (not in C99) The given base contains an unsupported value.
The implementation may also set errno to EINVAL in case no conversion was performed (no digits seen, and 0 returned).
NOTES
In locales other than the "C" locale, also other strings may be accepted. (For example, the thousands separator of the current locale may
be supported.)
BSD also has
quad_t
strtoq(const char *nptr, char **endptr, int base);
with completely analogous definition. Depending on the wordsize of the current architecture, this may be equivalent to strtoll() or to
strtol().
CONFORMING TO
strtol() conforms to SVID 3, BSD 4.3, ISO 9899 (C99) and POSIX, and strtoll() to ISO 9899 (C99) and POSIX-2001.
