NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <math.h>
11
12       double significand(double x);
13       float significandf(float x);
14       long double significandl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION

25       These functions return the mantissa of x scaled  to  the  range  [1,2).
26       They are equivalent to
27
28           scalb(x, (double) -ilogb(x))
29
30       This  function  exists mainly for use in certain standardized tests for
31       IEEE 754 conformance.
