significand(3) Library Functions Manual significand(3)
significand, significandf, significandl - get mantissa of
floating-point number
Math library (libm, -lm)
#include <math.h>
double significand(double x);
float significandf(float x);
long double significandl(long double x);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
significand(), significandf(), significandl():
/* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
These functions return the mantissa of x scaled to the range
[1, FLT_RADIX). They are equivalent to
scalb(x, (double) -ilogb(x))
This function exists mainly for use in certain standardized tests
for IEEE 754 conformance.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).
