NAME
       significand(), significandf(), significandl(), significandw(), significandq() - normalized significand functions

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
       The functions compute the significand of a floating point value x, where:

	      x = significand * 2^exponent and 1 <= significand < 2

       Thus, if x is subnormal, it is treated as though it were normalized before the significand 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.

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

       is equivalent to on HP-UX systems.

USAGE
       To use these functions, compile either with the default option or with the and options.

       To use or compile also with

       Make  sure  your program includes Link in the math library by specifying on the compiler or linker command line.  For more information, see
       the at the following site:

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, returns the normalized significand of x.

       If x is zero, infinite, or NaN, returns x.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.
