.SH NAME
|

modf, modff, modfl \- decompose a floating-point number

.SH SYNOPSIS

\fB#include <math.h>

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.LP
|
|
These functions shall break the argument \fIx\fP into integral and
|
|
fractional parts, each of which has the same sign as the
|
|
argument. It stores the integral part as a \fBdouble\fP (for the \fImodf\fP()
|
|
function), a \fBfloat\fP (for the \fImodff\fP()
|
|
function), or a \fBlong double\fP (for the \fImodfl\fP() function),
|
|
in the object pointed to by \fIiptr\fP.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
.LP
|
|
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the signed
|
|
fractional part of \fIx\fP.
|
|
.LP
|
|
If
|
|
\fIx\fP is NaN, a NaN shall be returned, and *\fIiptr\fP shall be
|
|
set to a NaN.
|
|
.LP
|
|
If \fIx\fP is \(+-Inf, \(+-0 shall be returned, and *\fIiptr\fP shall
|
|
be set to \(+-Inf.
|
|
.SH ERRORS

|
|
.SH APPLICATION USAGE
|
|
.LP
|
|
The \fImodf\fP() function computes the function result and *\fIiptr\fP
|
|
such that:

|

\fBa = modf(x, iptr) ;
|

x == a+*iptr ;

allowing for the usual floating-point inaccuracies.
