.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions multiply their first argument
|
|
.I x
|
|
by
|
|
.B FLT_RADIX
|
|
(probably 2) to the power
|
|
.IR exp .
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
.B FLT_RADIX
|
|
equals 2, then
|
|
.BR scalbn ()
|
|
is equivalent to
|
|
.BR ldexp (3).
|
|
|
|
The value of
|
|
.B FLT_RADIX
|
|
is found in
|
|
.IR <float.h> .
|
|
.\" not in /usr/include but in a gcc lib
|
|
