FREXP(3)		    Library Functions Manual		      FREXP(3)

NAME
       frexp,  frexpf,	frexpl	-- convert floating-point number to fractional
       and integral components

LIBRARY
       Math Library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<math.h>

       double
       frexp(double value, int *exp);

       float
       frexpf(float value, int *exp);

       long double
       frexpl(long double value, int *exp);

DESCRIPTION
       The frexp(), frexpf() and frexpl()  functions  break  a	floating-point
       number  into  a	normalized  fraction and an integral power of 2.  They
       store the integer in the	int object pointed to by exp.

RETURN VALUES
       These functions return the value	x, such	that x is a double with	magni-
       tude in the interval [1/2, 1) or	zero,  and  value  equals  x  times  2
       raised  to  the power *exp.  If value is	zero, both parts of the	result
       are zero.

SEE ALSO
       ldexp(3), math(3), modf(3)

STANDARDS
       The frexp(),  frexpf(),	and  frexpl()  functions  conform  to  ISO/IEC
       9899:1999 ("ISO C99").
