SCALBLN(3) Linux Programmer's Manual SCALBLN(3)
scalbn, scalbnf, scalbnl, scalbln, scalblnf, scalblnl - multiply
floating-point number by integral power of radix
#include <math.h>
double scalbln(double x, long exp);
float scalblnf(float x, long exp);
long double scalblnl(long double x, long exp);
double scalbn(double x, int exp);
float scalbnf(float x, int exp);
long double scalbnl(long double x, int exp);
Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
scalbln(), scalblnf(), scalblnl():
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
|| /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
scalbn(), scalbnf(), scalbnl():
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
|| /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* Glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
These functions multiply their first argument x by FLT_RADIX
(probably 2) to the power of exp, that is:
x * FLT_RADIX ** exp
The definition of FLT_RADIX can be obtained by including
<float.h>.
On success, these functions return x * FLT_RADIX ** exp.
If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), positive infinity
(negative infinity) is returned.
If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.
If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions
return HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL, respectively, with a
sign the same as x.
If the result underflows, a range error occurs, and the functions
return zero, with a sign the same as x.
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an
error has occurred when calling these functions.
The following errors can occur:
Range error, overflow
An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is
raised.
Range error, underflow
errno is set to ERANGE. An underflow floating-point
exception (FE_UNDERFLOW) is raised.
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).

These functions differ from the obsolete functions described in
scalb(3) in the type of their second argument. The functions
described on this page have a second argument of an integral
type, while those in scalb(3) have a second argument of type
double.
If FLT_RADIX equals 2 (which is usual), then scalbn() is
equivalent to ldexp(3).
Before glibc 2.20, these functions did not set errno for range
errors.
