IEEE_TEST(3) BSD Library Functions Manual IEEE_TEST(3)NAME
logb, logbf, logbl, scalb, scalbf, significand, significandf -- IEEE test functions
LIBRARY
Math Library (libm, -lm)
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double
logb(double x);
float
logbf(float x);
long double
logbl(long double x);
double
scalb(double x, double n);
float
scalbf(float x, float n);
double
significand(double x);
float
significandf(float x);
DESCRIPTION
These functions allow users to test conformance to IEEE Std 754-1985. Their use is not otherwise recommended.
logb(x) returns x's exponent n, a signed integer converted to double-precision floating-point. logb(+-infinity) = +infinity; logb(0) =
-infinity with a division by zero exception.
scalbn(x, n) returns x*(2**n) computed by exponent manipulation.
significand(x) returns sig, where x := sig * 2**n with 1 <= sig < 2. significand(x) is not defined when x is 0, +-infinity, or NaN.

ILOGB(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ILOGB(3)NAME
ilogb, ilogbf, ilogbl, logb, logbf, logbl -- extract exponent
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's exponent in integer format. ilogb(+-infinity) returns INT_MAX, ilogb(+-NaN) returns FP_ILOGBNAN,
and ilogb(0) returns FP_ILOGB0.
logb(x), logbf(x), and logbl(x) return x's exponent in floating-point format with the same precision as x. logb(+-infinity) returns +infin-
ity, and logb(0) returns -infinity with a division by zero exception.

The ilogb(), ilogbf(), ilogbl(), logb(), logbf(), and logbl() routines conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99''). The latter three imple-
ment the logb function recommended by IEEE Std 754-1985.

Introduction
I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:
$ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/cat
drwxrwxr-x 3 root bin 8704 Sep 23 2004 /usr/bin
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin ... (6 Replies)
I have a file which looks roughly like this:
996 mmmmmmm
996 xxxxxxxxxxxxx
99600 ssssssssss
9964 fffffffffffff
and would like to sort it numerically on the first field. I tried:
sort -nr --key=1 ....
The output I get is:
99600 ssssssssss

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I'm trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.
I've got the Oracle installation guide for it and I got as far as:
"4. Insert the CD-ROM labeled “GFX OpenWindows for Solaris 2” into the drive."
I don't have a CD-ROM by that name and a web search for that... (21 Replies)
Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.
I'm using "ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName" and I was wondering if it was better/more reliable to just check the
return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am learning shell scripting for the first time. I use AT&T Korn Shell, Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01, compiled from source on NetBSD.
So far I have managed to set up what I think is a useful and pleasing shell prompt, which can be seen in the image attached to this post.
The prompt is... (2 Replies)
Hey gang, I have a list of times I need to sum up. This list can vary from a few to a few thousand entries. Now I had found a closed reference to adding time titled "add up time with xx:yy format in bash how?" In it, the example works great for that formatted list of times... This is the reply code...

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
But what a book. The one I found and ordered is BSD Unix®... (0 Replies)
