scalb, scalbf, scalbl - multiply floating-point number by integral power of radix (OBSOLETE)

#include <math.h>

double scalb(double x, double exp);
float scalbf(float x, float exp);
long double scalbl(long double x, long double exp);

Link with -lm.

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

These functions multiply their first argument x by FLT_RADIX (probably 2) to the power of exp, that is:

    x * FLT_RADIX ** exp

The definition of FLT_RADIX can be obtained by including <float.h>.

On success, these functions return x * FLT_RADIX ** exp.

If x or exp is a NaN, a NaN is returned.

If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), and exp is not negative infinity, positive infinity (negative infinity) is returned.

If x is +0 (-0), and exp is not positive infinity, +0 (-0) is returned.

If x is zero, and exp is positive infinity, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.

If x is an infinity, and exp is negative infinity, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.

If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL, respectively, with a sign the same as x.

If the result underflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return zero, with a sign the same as x.
