+The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult

+double logb(double \fIx\fP);
+float logbf(float \fIx\fP);
+long double logbl(long double \fIx\fP);

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
+ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
+ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2008 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+These functions shall compute the exponent of
+.IR x ,
+which is the integral part of log\fI\d\s-3r\s+3\u\fR
+|\|\fIx\fR\||, as a signed floating-point value, for non-zero
+.IR x ,
+where
+.IR r
+is the radix of the machine's floating-point arithmetic, which is the
+value of FLT_RADIX defined in the
+.IR <float.h>
+header.
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is subnormal it is treated as though it were normalized; thus for
+finite positive
+.IR x :

+.fi \fR
+.P
+.RE
+.P
+An application wishing to check for error situations should set
+.IR errno
+to zero and call
+.IR feclearexcept (FE_ALL_EXCEPT)
+before calling these functions. On return, if
+.IR errno
+is non-zero or \fIfetestexcept\fR(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO |
+FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the exponent
+of
+.IR x .
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is \(+-0,
+\fIlogb\fR(),
+\fIlogbf\fR(),
+and
+\fIlogbl\fR()
+shall return \(miHUGE_VAL, \(miHUGE_VALF, and \(miHUGE_VALL,
+respectively.
+.P
+On systems that support the IEC 60559 Floating-Point option, a pole
+error shall occur;
+.br
+otherwise, a
+pole
+error may occur.
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is \(+-Inf, +Inf shall be returned.
+.SH ERRORS
+These functions shall fail if:
+.IP "Pole\ Error" 12
+The value of
+.IR x
+is \(+-0.
+.RS 12
+.P
+If the integer expression (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERRNO) is
+non-zero, then
+.IR errno
+shall be set to
+.BR [ERANGE] .
+If the integer expression (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is
+non-zero, then the divide-by-zero floating-point exception shall be
+raised.

+If the integer expression (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERRNO) is

+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+On error, the expressions (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERRNO) and
+(\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each
+other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.
+.SH RATIONALE
+None.
