NAME
frexp, ldexp, modf - split into mantissa and exponent
SYNOPSIS
double frexp(value, eptr)
double value;
int *eptr;
double ldexp(value, exp)
double value;
double modf(value, iptr)
double value, *iptr;
DESCRIPTION
Every nonzero number can be written uniquely as x * 2^n,
where the
"mantissa" (fraction) x is in the range 0.5 <=
|x| < 1.0, and the
"exponent" n is an integer. Frexp returns the
mantissa of a
double value, and stores the exponent indirectly in the
location
pointed to by eptr. If value is 0, both results returned by
frexp
are 0.
Ldexp returns the quantity value * 2^exp.
Modf returns the signed
fractional part of value and stores the
integer part indirectly in the location pointed to by
iptr.

DIAGNOSTICS
ldexp returns +-infinity on an overflow.
