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

DESCRIPTION
       The  ilogb(), ilogbf(), and ilogbl() functions return the integral part
       of the base r logarithm of (|x|) as a signed integral  value  for  non-
       zero  x,	 where	r  is the radix of the machine's floating point arith‐
       metic.

       The following table describes function behavior in response  to	excep‐
       tional arguments:
