<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
These functions extract the exponent from the
|
|
internal floating-point representation of
|
|
<I>x</I>
|
|
|
|
and return it as a floating-point value.
|
|
The integer constant
|
|
<B>FLT_RADIX</B>,
|
|
|
|
defined in
|
|
<I><<A HREF="file:///usr/include/float.h">float.h</A>></I>,
|
|
|
|
indicates the radix used for the system's floating-point representation.
|
|
If
|
|
<B>FLT_RADIX</B>
|
|
|
|
is 2,
|
|
<B>logb(</B><I>x</I><B>)</B>
|
|
|
|
is equal to
|
|
<B>floor(log2(</B><I>x</I><B>))</B>,
|
|
|
|
except that it is probably faster.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
<I>x</I>
|
|
|
|
is subnormal,
|
|
<B>logb</B>()
|
|
|
|
returns the exponent
|
|
<I>x</I>
|
|
|
|
would have if it were normalized.
|
|
<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>
|
|
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
|
|
|
|
On success, these functions return the exponent of
|
|
<I>x</I>.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
<I>x</I>
|
|
|
|
is a NaN,
|
|
a NaN is returned.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
<I>x</I>
|
|
|
|
is zero, then a pole error occurs, and the functions return
|
|
-<B>HUGE_VAL</B>,
|
|
|
|
-<B>HUGE_VALF</B>,
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
-<B>HUGE_VALL</B>,
|
|
|
|
respectively.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
<I>x</I>
|
|
|
|
is negative infinity or positive infinity, then
|
|
positive infinity is returned.

<H2>ERRORS</H2>
|
|
|
|
See
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?7+math_error">math_error</A></B>(7)
|
|
|
|
for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
|
|
when calling these functions.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The following errors can occur:
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="3">Pole error: <I>x</I> is 0<DD>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A divide-by-zero floating-point exception
|
|
(<B>FE_DIVBYZERO</B>)
|
|
|
|
is raised.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
These functions do not set
|
|
<I>errno</I>.
