ILOGB(3P)		   POSIX Programmer's Manual		     ILOGB(3P)

PROLOG
       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.

NAME
       ilogb, ilogbf, ilogbl — return an unbiased exponent

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

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

DESCRIPTION
       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	return	the exponent part of their argument x.
       Formally, the return value is the integral part of logr|x| as a	signed
       integral	 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
       <float.h>.

       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.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful	 completion, these functions shall return the exponent
       part of x as a signed integer value. They are equivalent to calling the
       corresponding  logb()  function	and casting the returned value to type
       int.

       If x is 0, the value FP_ILOGB0 shall be	returned.   On	XSI-conformant
       systems, a domain error shall occur;
       otherwise, a domain error may occur.

       If x is ±Inf, the value {INT_MAX} shall be returned.  On XSI-conformant
       systems, a domain error shall occur;
       otherwise, a domain error may occur.

       If x is a NaN, the value FP_ILOGBNAN shall be returned.	On XSI-confor‐
       mant systems, a domain error shall occur;
       otherwise, a domain error may occur.

       If  the	correct	 value is greater than {INT_MAX}, a domain error shall
       occur and an unspecified value shall be	returned.   On	XSI-conformant
       systems, a domain error shall occur and {INT_MAX} shall be returned.

       If the correct value is less than {INT_MIN}, a domain error shall occur
       and an unspecified value shall be returned.  On XSI-conformant systems,
       a domain error shall occur and {INT_MIN} shall be returned.

ERRORS
       These functions shall fail if:

       Domain Error
		   The correct value is not representable as an integer.

		   The x argument is zero, NaN, or ±Inf.

		   If  the  integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO)
		   is non-zero, then errno shall be set	 to  [EDOM].   If  the
		   integer  expression	(math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is
		   non-zero, then the invalid floating-point  exception	 shall
		   be raised.

       These functions may fail if:

       Domain Error
		   The x argument is zero, NaN, or ±Inf.

		   If  the  integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO)
		   is non-zero, then errno shall be set	 to  [EDOM].   If  the
		   integer  expression	(math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is
		   non-zero, then the invalid floating-point  exception	 shall
		   be raised.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION USAGE
       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.

RATIONALE
       The  errors come from taking the expected floating-point value and con‐
       verting it to int, which is an invalid operation	 in  IEEE Std 754‐1985
       (since  overflow,  infinity,  and  NaN  are not representable in a type
       int), so should be a domain error.

       There are no known implementations that overflow. For overflow to  hap‐
       pen,  {INT_MAX}	must  be  less	than  LDBL_MAX_EXP*log2(FLT_RADIX)  or
       {INT_MIN} must be greater than LDBL_MIN_EXP*log2(FLT_RADIX) if  subnor‐
       mals   are   not	  supported,   or   {INT_MIN}  must  be	 greater  than
       (LDBL_MIN_EXP-LDBL_MANT_DIG)*log2(FLT_RADIX)  if	 subnormals  are  sup‐
       ported.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
