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.

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,
              and errno is set to EDOM (but see BUGS).
       Domain error: x is an infinity
              An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised,
              and errno is set to EDOM (but see BUGS).

CONFORMING TO         top

       C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.

BUGS         top

       Before version 2.16, the following bugs existed in the glibc
       implementation of these functions:
       *  The domain error case where x is 0 or a NaN did not cause errno to
          be set or (on some architectures) raise a floating-point
          exception.
       *  The domain error case where x is an infinity did not cause errno
          to be set or raise a floating-point exception.
