.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In math.h
|
|
.Ft double
|
|
.Fn ldexp "double x" "int exp"
|
|
.Ft float
|
|
.Fn ldexpf "float x" "int exp"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ldexp
|
|
family of functions compute
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Va x
|
|
*
|
|
2^\fIexp\fR
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
for a real floating-point number
|
|
.Fa x .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The functions return the value of
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
times 2 raised to the power
|
|
.Fa exp .
|
|
Otherwise the following may occur:
|
|
.Bl -enum -offset indent
|
|
.It
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
is \*(Na, a \*(Na is returned.
|
|
.It
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa exp
|
|
is zero or
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
is either \*(Pm 0 or \*(Pm\[if],
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
is returned.
|
|
.It
|
|
If the call would cause an overflow, a range error occurs and either
|
|
.Dv \*(Pm\*HHUGE_VAL ,
|
|
.Dv \*(Pm\*HHUGE_VALF ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv \*(Pm\*HHUGE_VALL
|
|
is returned, depending on the sign of
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
and the type of the return value.
|
|
.It
|
|
If an underflow would be caused by the correct value,
|
|
and the value is not representable, either 0.0 or
|
|
an implementation-defined value is returned.
