NAME¶

significand, significandf, significandl - get mantissa of floating-point number

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <math.h>

double significand(double x);
float significandf(float x);
long double significandl(long double x);

Link with -lm.

Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

significand(), significandf(), significandl():

DESCRIPTION¶

These functions return the mantissa of x scaled to the range [1,2). They are equivalent to

scalb(x, (double) -ilogb(x))

This function exists mainly for use in certain standardized tests for IEEE 754 conformance.

ATTRIBUTES¶

For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
