ILOGB(3)                      Linux Programmer's Manual                      ILOGB(3)

NAME         top

       ilogb, ilogbf, ilogbl - get integer exponent of a floating-point value

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <math.h>

       int ilogb(double x);
       int ilogbf(float x);
       int ilogbl(long double x);

       Link with -lm.

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       ilogb():
           _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 ||
           _XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED || _ISOC99_SOURCE ||
           _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;
           or cc -std=c99
       ilogbf(), ilogbl():
           _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE ||
           _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;
           or cc -std=c99

DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions return the exponent part of their argument as a signed
       integer.  When no error occurs, these functions are equivalent to the
       corresponding logb(3) functions, cast to int.

RETURN VALUE         top

       On success, these functions return the exponent of x, as a signed integer.

       If x is zero, then a domain error occurs, and the functions return FP_ILOGB0.

       If x is a NaN, then a domain error occurs, and the functions return
       FP_ILOGBNAN.

       If x is negative infinity or positive infinity, then a domain error occurs,
       and the functions return INT_MAX.

ERRORS         top

       See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has
       occurred when calling these functions.

       The following errors can occur:

       Domain error: x is 0 or a NaN
              An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.

              These functions do not set errno for this case.

       Domain error: x is an infinity

              These functions do not set errno or raise an exception for this case.

CONFORMING TO         top
