These functions multiply their first argument x
by FLT_RADIX
(probably 2) to the power of
exp
, that is:
x * FLT_RADIX ** exp
The definition of FLT_RADIX
can be obtained by including <
float.h
>
On success, these functions return x
* FLT_RADIX
** exp
.
If x
is a NaN, a
NaN is returned.
If x
is positive
infinity (negative infinity), positive infinity (negative
infinity) is returned.
If x
is +0
(−0), +0 (−0) 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
.
If the result underflows, a range error occurs, and the
functions return zero, with a sign the same as x
.
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.
The following errors can occur:
An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW
) is raised.
An underflow floating-point exception (FE_UNDERFLOW
) is raised.
These functions do not set errno
.
These functions differ from the obsolete functions described in scalb(3) in the type of their second argument. The functions described on this page have a second argument of an integral type, while those in scalb(3) have a second argument of type double.
If FLT_RADIX
equals 2 (which
is usual), then scalbn
() is
equivalent to ldexp(3).
