NAME
ldexp, ldexpf, ldexpl - multiply floating-point number by integral power of 2SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> double ldexp(double x, int exp); float ldexpf(float x, int exp); long double ldexpl(long double x, int exp); Link with -lm. Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): ldexpf(), ldexpl(): _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCEDESCRIPTION
These functions return the result of multiplying the floating-point number x by 2 raised to the power exp.RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return x * (2^exp). If exp is zero, then x is returned. If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), positive infinity (negative infinity) is returned. If the result underflows, a range error occurs, and zero is returned. If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL, respectively, with a sign the same as x.ERRORS
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions. The following errors can occur: Range error, overflow errno is set to ERANGE. An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised. Range error, underflow errno is set to ERANGE. An underflow floating-point exception (FE_UNDERFLOW) is raised.ATTRIBUTES
