ilogb(3)                Library Functions Manual                ilogb(3)

NAME         top

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

LIBRARY         top

       Math library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <math.h>

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

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

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).

BUGS         top

       Before glibc 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.
