NAME

ilogb, ilogbf, ilogbl — extract exponent

SYNOPSIS

Math Library (libm, -lm)
#include <math.h>

int
ilogb(double x);

int
ilogbf(float x);

int
ilogbl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION

ilogb() returns x's exponent n, in integer format. ilogb(±infinity) returns INT_MAX, ilogb(NaN) returns FP_ILOGBNAN and ilogb(0) returns FP_ILOGB0. The ilogbf() function is a single precision version of ilogb(). The ilogbl() function is an extended precision version of ilogb().
