|

|

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn scalbn ,
|
||
|
|
.Fn scalbnf ,
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Fn scalbnl
|
||
|
|
functions compute
|
||
|
|
.Fa x
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
.Fa r^n ,
|
||
|
|
where
|
||
|
|
.Fa r
|
||
|
|
is the radix of the machine's floating point arithmetic, defined by the
|
||
|
|
.Dv FLT_RADIX
|
||
|
|
constant in
|
||
|
|
.In float.h .
|
||
|
|
The rationale is efficiency;
|
||
|
|
.Fa r^n
|
||
|
|
is not computed explicitly.
|
||
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
As described above, upon successful completion, the described functions return
|
||
|
|
the exponent computed using
|
||
|
|
.Dv FLT_RADIX .
|
||
|
|
Otherwise the following may occur:
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Bl -enum -offset indent
|
||
|
|
.It
|
||
|
|
When the result would cause an overflow, a range error occurs and
|
||
|
|
.Dv \*(Pm\*HHUGE_VAL ,
|
||
|
|
.Dv \*(Pm\*HHUGE_VALF ,
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
.Dv \*(Pm\*HHUGE_VALL
|
||
|
|
is returned according to the sign of
|
||
|
|
.Fa x
|
||
|
|
and the return type of the corresponding function.
|
||
|
|
.It
|
||
|
|
When the correct value would cause an underflow
|
||
|
|
and it is not representable, a range error occurs and
|
||
|
|
either 0.0 or an implementation-defined value is returned.
|
||
|
|
When an underflow occurs but the correct value is representable,
|
||
|
|
a range error occurs but the correct value is returned.
|
||
|
|
.It
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.Fa x
|
||
|
|
is \*(Pm0 or \*(Pm\Inf,
|
||
|
|
.Fa x
|
||
|
|
is returned.
|
||
|
|
Likewise, if
|
||
|
|
.Fa n
|
||
|
|
is zero,
|
||
|
|
.Fa x
|
||
|
|
is returned.
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.Fa x
|
||
|
|
is \*(Na, \*(Na is returned.
