NAME
logbd64(), logbd128(), logbd32() - decimal exponent functions
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The function computes the exponent of the floating point value x. Formally, the return value is the integral part of log base 10 of |x| as a signed floating point value, for nonzero x. If x is subnormal, it is treated as though it were normalized, before the exponent is determined. is a version of it takes a argument and returns a result. 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.
USAGE
To use any of these functions, compile with the option. Make sure your program defines and then includes Link in the math library by specifying or on the linking command line. For more information, see the at the following site:
RETURN VALUE
If x returns +infinity. If x is 0, returns -infinity and raises the divide-by-zero floating-point exception. If x is NaN, returns NaN.
ERRORS
If x is 0, sets to
