|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn frexp
|
|
function breaks a floating-point number into a normalized
|
|
fraction and an integral power of 2.
|
|
It stores the integer in the
|
|
.Em int
|
|
object pointed to by
|
|
.Fa exp .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn frexp
|
|
function returns the value
|
|
.Em x ,
|
|
such that
|
|
.Em x
|
|
is a
|
|
.Em double
|
|
with magnitude in the interval [1/2, 1) or zero, and
|
|
.Fa value
|
|
equals
|
|
.Em x
|
|
times 2 raised to the power
|
|
.Fa *exp .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa value
|
|
is zero, both parts of the result are zero.
