These functions compute the exponent of x, which is the integral part of logr |x|, as a signed floating point value, for non-zero x, where r is the radix of the machine's floating-point arithmetic, which is the value of FLT_RADIX defined in the <float.h> header.
Upon successful completion, these functions return the exponent of x.
If x is subnormal:
For SUSv3–conforming applications compiled with the c99 compiler driver (see standards(5)), the exponent of x as if x were normalized is returned.
Otherwise, if compiled with the cc compiler driver, −1022, −126, and −16382 are returned for logb(), logbf(), and logbl(), respectively.
If x is ±0, a pole error occurs and logb(), logbf(), and logbl() return −HUGE_VAL, −HUGE_VALF, and −HUGE_VALL, respectively.
If x is NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is ±Inf, +Inf is returned.
These functions will fail if:
The value of x is ±0.
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, the divide-by-zero floating-point exception is raised.
The logb() function sets errno to EDOM if the value of x is 0.
An application wanting to check for exceptions should call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an exception has been raised. An application should either examine the return value or check the floating point exception flags to detect exceptions.
An application can also set errno to 0 before calling logb(). On return, if errno is non-zero, an error has occurred. The logbf() and logbl() functions do not set errno.
