NAME

       _decodebinary64(), _decodebinary128(), _decodebinary32() - decode binary-encoded decimal data

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       There  are  two	standard  bit-encodings  for decimal floating-point data: binary and decimal.  Both encoding provide exactly the same data
       (analogous to big endian and little endian encodings).  The HP-UX decimal floating-point types use the binary encoding.

       The function decodes x, interpreted as a binary-encoded 64-bit decimal datum, into the encoding for

       is a version of it takes a argument and returns a result.

       These math functions are supported for HP-UX 11i Version 3 September 2008 Update and forward.
