significand(3)          Library Functions Manual          significand(3)

NAME         top

       significand, significandf, significandl - get mantissa of
       floating-point number

LIBRARY         top

       Math library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #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

DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions return the mantissa of x scaled to the range
       [1,2).  They are equivalent to

           scalb(x, (double) -ilogb(x))

       This function exists mainly for use in certain standardized tests
       for IEEE 754 conformance.
