LDEXP(3)		   Linux Programmer's Manual		      LDEXP(3)

NAME
       ldexp,  ldexpf,	ldexpl	-  multiply  floating-point number by integral
       power of 2

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       double ldexp(double x, int exp);
       float ldexpf(float x, int exp);
       long double ldexpl(long double x, int exp);

       Link with -lm.

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

       ldexpf(), ldexpl():
	   _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 ||
	   _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;
	   or cc -std=c99

DESCRIPTION
       The  ldexp()  function  returns the result of multiplying the floating-
       point number x by 2 raised to the power exp.

RETURN VALUE
       On success, these functions return x * (2^exp).

       If exp is zero, then x is returned.

       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.

       If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), positive infinity (nega‐
       tive infinity) is returned.

       If the result underflows, a range error occurs, and zero 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.

ERRORS
       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
	      errno is set to ERANGE.  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.

ATTRIBUTES
   Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
       The ldexp(), ldexpf(), and ldexpl() functions are thread-safe.

CONFORMING TO
       C99, POSIX.1-2001.  The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4,
       4.3BSD, C89.
