IEEE_TEST(3)              OpenBSD Programmer's Manual             IEEE_TEST(3)

NAME
     logb, logbf, scalb, scalbf, significand, significandf - IEEE test func-
     tions

SYNOPSIS
     #include <math.h>

     double
     logb(double x);

     float
     logbf(float x);

     double
     scalb(double x, double n);

     float
     scalbf(float x, float n);

     double
     significand(double x);

     float
     significandf(float x);

DESCRIPTION
     These functions allow users to test conformance to IEEE Std 754-1985.
     Their use is not otherwise recommended.

     logb(x) returns x's exponent n, a signed integer converted to double-pre-
     cision floating-point.  logb(+-Infinity) = +Infinity; logb(0) = -Infinity
     with a division by zero exception.  logbf() is the single precision form
     of logb().

     scalb(x, n) returns x*(2**n) computed by exponent manipulation.  scalbf()
     is the single precision form of scalb().

     significand(x) returns sig, where x := sig * 2**n with 1 <= sig < 2.
     significand(x) is not defined when x is 0, +-Infinity, or NaN.
     significandf() is the single precision for of significand().
