FREXP(3) Library Functions Manual FREXP(3)

frexp
convert floating-point number to fractional and integral components

Math Library (libm, -lm)

#include <math.h>

double
frexp(double value, int *exp);

float
frexpf(float value, int *exp);

long double
frexpl(long double value, int *exp);

The frexp() function breaks a floating-point number into a normalized fraction and an integral power of 2. It stores the integer in the int object pointed to by exp.

The frexp() function returns the value x, such that x is a double with magnitude in the interval [1/2, 1) or zero, and value equals x times 2 raised to the power *exp. If value is zero, both parts of the result are zero.
