NAME

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

LIBRARY

       Math library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS

       #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

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

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

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