NAME
scalb, scalbf, scalbl - multiply floating-point number
by integral power of radix (OBSOLETE)
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h >
double scalb(double x , double exp );
float scalbf(float x , double exp );
long double scalbl(long double x , double exp );
Link with -lm .
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros (7)):
scalb ():
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500
scalbf (),
scalbl ():
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600
DESCRIPTION
These functions multiply their first argument
x
by
FLT_RADIX
(probably 2)
to the power of
exp ,
that is:
x * FLT_RADIX ** exp
The definition of
FLT_RADIX
can be obtained by including
<float.h > .
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return x * FLT_RADIX ** exp .
If
x
or
exp
is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If
x
is positive infinity (negative infinity),
and
exp
is not negative infinity,
positive infinity (negative infinity) is returned.
If
x
is +0 (-0), and
exp
is not positive infinity, +0 (-0) is returned.
If
x
is zero, and
exp
is positive infinity,
a domain error occurs, and
a NaN is returned.
If
x
is an infinity,
and
exp
is negative infinity,
a domain error occurs, and
a NaN is returned.
If the result overflows,
a range error occurs,
and the functions return
HUGE_VAL ,
HUGE_VALF ,
or
HUGE_VALL ,
respectively, with a sign the same as
x .
If the result underflows,
a range error occurs,
and the functions return zero, with a sign the same as
x .
ERRORS
See
math_error (7)
for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
when calling these functions.
The following errors can occur:
Domain error: x is 0, and exp is positive infinity, or x is positive infinity and exp is negative infinity and the other argument is not a NaN
An invalid floating-point exception
(FE_INVALID )
is raised.
Range error, overflow
An overflow floating-point exception
(FE_OVERFLOW )
is raised.
Range error, underflow
An underflow floating-point exception
(FE_UNDERFLOW )
is raised.
These functions do not set
errno .
CONFORMING TO
scalb ()
is specified in POSIX.1-2001, but marked obsolescent.
POSIX.1-2008 removes the specification of
scalb ().
The
scalb ()
function is from 4.3BSD.
scalbf ()
and
scalbl ()
are unstandardized;
scalbf ()
is nevertheless present on several other systems
