<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
These functions are used to split the number
<I>x</I>
into a
normalized fraction and an exponent which is stored in
<I>exp</I>.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
These functions return the normalized fraction.
If the argument
<I>x</I>
is not zero,
the normalized fraction is
<I>x</I>
times a power of two,
and its absolute value is always in the range 1/2 (inclusive) to
1 (exclusive), that is, [0.5,1).
<P>
If
<I>x</I>
is zero, then the normalized fraction is
zero and zero is stored in
<I>exp</I>.
<P>
If
<I>x</I>
is a NaN,
a NaN is returned, and the value of
<I>*exp</I>
is unspecified.
<P>
If
<I>x</I>
is positive infinity (negative infinity),
positive infinity (negative infinity) is returned, and the value of
<I>*exp</I>
is unspecified.
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>ERRORS</H2>
No errors occur.

<H2>CONFORMING TO</H2>
C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
<P>
The variant returning
<I>double</I>
also conforms to
SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
<A NAME="lbAI">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>EXAMPLE</H2>
The program below produces results such as the following:
<P>
$<B> ./a.out 2560</B>
frexp(2560, &amp;e) = 0.625: 0.625 * 2^12 = 2560
$<B> ./a.out -4</B>
frexp(-4, &amp;e) = -0.5: -0.5 * 2^3 = -4
