+The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
+the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
+or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

+\(em extract mantissa and exponent from a double precision number
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <math.h>
+.P
+double frexp(double \fInum\fP, int *\fIexp\fP);
+float frexpf(float \fInum\fP, int *\fIexp\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\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+These functions shall break a floating-point number
+.IR num
+into a normalized fraction and an integral power of 2. The integer
+exponent shall be stored in the
+.BR int
+object pointed to by
+.IR exp .
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+For finite arguments, these functions shall return the value
+.IR x ,
+such that
+.IR x
+has a magnitude in the interval [\(12,1) or 0, and
+.IR num
+equals
+.IR x
+times 2 raised to the power *\fIexp\fP.
+.P
+If
+.IR num
+is NaN, a NaN shall be returned, and the value of *\fIexp\fP is
+unspecified.
+.P
+If
+.IR num
+is \(+-0, \(+-0 shall be returned, and the value of *\fIexp\fP shall be
+0.
+.P
+If
+.IR num
+is \(+-Inf,
+.IR num
+shall be returned, and the value of *\fIexp\fP is unspecified.
+.SH ERRORS
+No errors are defined.
