LOGB(3) 						   BSD Library Functions Manual 						   LOGB(3)

NAME

     logb -- return exponent as a floating-point number

SYNOPSIS

     #include <math.h>

     double
     logb(double x);

     float
     logbf(float x);

DESCRIPTION

     The logb() and logbf() functions return the exponent of x, represented as a floating-point number.

SPECIAL VALUES

     logb(+-0) returns -infinity and raises the "divide-by-zero" floating-point exception.

     logb(+-infinity) returns +infinity.

SEE ALSO

     ilogb(3)

STANDARDS

     The logb() and logbf() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999(E).

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.

STANDARDS

     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.
