float
logbf(float x);

scalb(double x, double n);
float
scalbf(float x, float n);

DESCRIPTION
These functions allow users to test conformance to ieee754. Their use is not otherwise recommended.

logb(x) returns x's exponent n, a signed integer converted to double-precision floating-point. logb() = +; logb(0) = - with a division by zero exception. logbf() is the single precision form of logb(). logbl() is the extended precision form of logb().

scalb(x, n) returns x*(2**n) computed by exponent manipulation. scalbf() is the single precision form of scalb(). scalbl() is the extended precision form of scalb().

significand(x) returns sig, where x := sig * 2**n with 1 ≤ sig < 2. significand(x) is not defined when x is 0, , or . significandf() is the single precision for of significand().
