49 scalb, scalbf, scalbl \- load exponent of a radix-independent floating-point
54 c99 [ \fIflag\fR... ] \fIfile\fR... \fB-lm\fR [ \fIlibrary\fR... ]
57 \fBdouble\fR \fBscalb\fR(\fBdouble\fR \fIx\fR, \fBdouble\fR \fIn\fR);
62 \fBfloat\fR \fBscalbf\fR(\fBfloat\fR \fIx\fR, \fBfloat\fR \fIn\fR);
67 \fBlong double\fR \fBscalbl\fR(\fBlong double\fR \fIx\fR, \fBlong double\fR \fIn\fR);
73 These functions compute x * \fIr\fR^n, where \fIr\fR is the radix of the
74 machine's floating point arithmetic. When \fIr\fR is 2, \fBscalb()\fR is
75 equivalent to \fBldexp\fR(3M). The value of \fIr\fR is \fBFLT_RADIX\fR which is
76 defined in <\fBfloat.h\fR>.
80 Upon successful completion, the \fBscalb()\fR function returns \fIx\fR *
84 If \fIx\fR or \fIn\fR is NaN, a NaN is returned.
87 If \fIn\fR is 0, \fIx\fR is returned.
90 If \fIx\fR is \(+-Inf and \fIn\fR is not \(miInf, \fIx\fR is returned.
93 If \fIx\fR is \(+-0 and \fIn\fR is not +Inf, \fIx\fR is returned.
96 If \fIx\fR is \(+-0 and \fIn\fR is +Inf, a domain error occurs and a NaN is
100 If \fIx\fR is \(+-Inf and \fIn\fR is \(miInf, a domain error occurs and a NaN
104 If the result would cause an overflow, a range error occurs and
105 \(+-\fBHUGE_VAL\fR (according to the sign of \fIx\fR) is returned.
108 For exceptional cases, \fBmatherr\fR(3M) tabulates the values to be returned by
109 \fBscalb()\fR as specified by SVID3 and XPG3. See \fBstandards\fR(5).
113 These functions will fail if:
122 If \fIx\fR is 0 and \fIn\fR is +Inf, or \fIx\fR is Inf and \fIn\fR is \(miInf.
124 If the integer expression (\fBmath_errhandling\fR & \fBMATH_ERREXCEPT\fR) is
125 non-zero, then the invalid floating-point exception is raised.
136 The result would overflow.
138 If the integer expression (\fBmath_errhandling\fR & \fBMATH_ERREXCEPT\fR) is
139 non-zero, then the overflow floating-point exception is raised.
145 An application wanting to check for exceptions should call
146 \fBfeclearexcept\fR(\fBFE_ALL_EXCEPT\fR) before calling these functions. On
147 return, if \fBfetestexcept\fR(\fBFE_INVALID\fR | \fBFE_DIVBYZERO\fR |
148 \fBFE_OVERFLOW\fR | \fBFE_UNDERFLOW\fR) is non-zero, an exception has been
149 raised. An application should either examine the return value or check the
150 floating point exception flags to detect exceptions.
