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():
/* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
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.
