NAME
logb, logbf, logbl - radix-independent exponent SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ] #include <math.h> double logb(double x); float logbf(float x); long double logbl(long double x); DESCRIPTION
These functions compute the exponent of x, which is the integral part of logr |x|, as a signed floating point value, for non-zero x, where r is the radix of the machine's floating-point arithmetic, which is the value of FLT_RADIX defined in the <float.h> header. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, these functions return the exponent of x. If x is subnormal: o For SUSv3-conforming applications (see standards(5)), the exponent of x as if x were normalized is returned. o Otherwise, -1022, -126, and -16382 are returned for logb(), logbf(), and logbl(), respectively. If x is +-0, a pole error occurs and logb(), logbf(), and logbl() return -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, and -HUGE_VALL, respectively. If x is NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is +-Inf, +Inf is returned. ERRORS
These functions will fail if: Pole Error The value of x is +-0. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, the divide-by-zero floating-point exception is raised. The logb() function sets errno to EDOM if the value of x is 0. USAGE
An application wanting to check for exceptions should call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an exception has been raised. An application should either examine the return value or check the floating point exception flags to detect exceptions. An application can also set errno to 0 before calling logb(). On return, if errno is non-zero, an error has occurred. The logbf() and logbl() functions do not set errno. ATTRIBUTES

c99 [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ] #include <math.h> double logb(double x); float logbf(float x); long double logbl(long double x); cc [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ] #include <math.h> double logb(double x); float logbf(float x); long double logbl(long double x); DESCRIPTION
These functions compute the exponent of x, which is the integral part of log(r) |x|, as a signed floating point value, for non-zero x, where r is the radix of the machine's floating-point arithmetic, which is the value of FLT_RADIX defined in the <float.h> header. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, these functions return the exponent of x. If x is subnormal: o For SUSv3-conforming applications compiled with the c99 compiler driver (see standards(5)), the exponent of x as if x were nor- malized is returned. o Otherwise, if compiled with the cc compiler driver, -1022, -126, and -16382 are returned for logb(), logbf(), and logbl(), respectively. If x is +-0, a pole error occurs and logb(), logbf(), and logbl() return -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, and -HUGE_VALL, respectively. If x is NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is +-Inf, +Inf is returned. ERRORS
