NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       double significand(double x);
       float significandf(float x);
       long double significandl(long double x);

       Link with -lm.

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       significand(), significandf(), significandl():
           _SVID_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

       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.
