FREXP(3) UNIX Programmer's Manual FREXP(3) NAME frexp, ldexp, modf - split into mantissa and exponent SYNOPSIS double frexp(value, eptr) double value; int *eptr; double ldexp(value, exp) double value; double modf(value, iptr) double value, *iptr; DESCRIPTION Frexp returns the mantissa of a double value as a double quantity, x, of magnitude less than 1 and stores an integer n such that value = x*2n indirectly through eptr. Ldexp returns the quantity value*2exp. Modf returns the positive fractional part of value and stores the integer part indirectly through iptr. Printed 11/26/99 May 15, 1985 1
