LOGB(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual LOGB(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
logb, logbf, logbl — radix-independent exponent
#include <math.h>
double logb(double x);
float logbf(float x);
long double logbl(long double x);
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with
the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described
here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of
POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
These functions shall compute the exponent of x, which is the
integral part of logr |x|, as a signed floating-point value, for non-
zero x, where r is the radix of the machine's floating-point
arithmetic, which is the value of FLT_RADIX defined in the <float.h>
header.
If x is subnormal it is treated as though it were normalized; thus
for finite positive x:
1 <= x * FLT_RADIX−logb(x) < FLT_RADIX
An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno
to zero and call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these
functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID
| FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error
has occurred.
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the exponent
of x.
If x is ±0, logb(), logbf(), and logbl() shall return −HUGE_VAL,
−HUGE_VALF, and −HUGE_VALL, respectively.
On systems that support the IEC 60559 Floating-Point option, a pole
error shall occur;
otherwise, a pole error may occur.
If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
If x is ±Inf, +Inf shall be returned.
These functions shall fail if:
Pole Error The value of x is ±0.
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO)
is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the
integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is
non-zero, then the divide-by-zero floating-point
exception shall be raised.
These functions may fail if:
Pole Error The value of x is 0.
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO)
is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the
integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is
non-zero, then the divide-by-zero floating-point
exception shall be raised.
The following sections are informative.
None.
On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and
(math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other,
but at least one of them must be non-zero.
None.
None.
