NAME
       scalb,  scalbf,	scalbl,	 scalbn,  scalbnf, scalbnl, scalbln, scalblnf,
       scalblnl - multiply floating-point number by integral power of radix

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       double scalb(double x, double exp);
       float scalbf(float x, double exp);
       long double scalbl(long double x, double exp);

       double scalbn(double x, int exp);
       float scalbnf(float x, int exp);
       long double scalbnl(long double x, int exp);

       double scalbln(double x, long int exp);
       float scalblnf(float x, long int exp);
       long double scalblnl(long double x, long int exp);

       Link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION
       These functions multiply their first argument x by FLT_RADIX  (probably
       2) to the power exp.

       If FLT_RADIX equals 2, then scalbn() is equivalent to ldexp().

       The value of FLT_RADIX is found in <float.h>.

CONFORMING TO
       The  scalb() function is from 4.3BSD.  The scalbn() and scalbln() func‐
       tions are from C99.  All three are in POSIX.1-2001.  The scalb()	 func‐
       tion is marked obsolescent.
