+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions return the exponent part of their argument
+as a signed integer.
+When no error occurs, these functions
+are equivalent to the corresponding
+.BR logb (3)
+functions, cast to
+.IR int .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, these functions return the exponent of
+.IR x ,
+as a signed integer.
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is zero, then a domain error occurs, and the functions return
+.\" the POSIX.1 spec for logb() says logb() gives pole error for this
+.\" case, but for ilogb() it says domain error.
+.BR FP_ILOGB0 .
+.\" glibc: The numeric value is either `INT_MIN' or `-INT_MAX'.
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is a NaN, then a domain error occurs, and the functions return
+.BR FP_ILOGBNAN .
+.\" glibc: The numeric value is either `INT_MIN' or `INT_MAX'.
+.\" On i386, FP_ILOGB0 and FP_ILOGBNAN have the same value.
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is negative infinity or positive infinity, then
+a domain error occurs, and the functions return
+.BR INT_MAX .
+.\"
+.\" POSIX.1-2001 also says:
+.\" If the correct value is greater than {INT_MAX}, {INT_MAX}
+.\" shall be returned and a domain error shall occur.
+.\"
+.\" If the correct value is less than {INT_MIN}, {INT_MIN}
+.\" shall be returned and a domain error shall occur.
+.SH ERRORS
+See
+.BR math_error (7)
+for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
+when calling these functions.
+.P
+The following errors can occur:
+.TP
+Domain error: \fIx\fP is 0 or a NaN
+An invalid floating-point exception
+.RB ( FE_INVALID )
+is raised, and
+.I errno
+is set to
+.B EDOM
+(but see BUGS).
+.TP
+Domain error: \fIx\fP is an infinity
+An invalid floating-point exception
+.RB ( FE_INVALID )
+is raised, and
+.I errno
+is set to
+.B EDOM

+.\" Bug raised: https://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6794
+Before glibc 2.16, the following bugs existed in the
+glibc implementation of these functions:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The domain error case where
+.I x
+is 0 or a NaN did not cause
+.I errno
+to be set or (on some architectures) raise a floating-point exception.
+.IP \[bu]
+The domain error case where
+.I x
+is an infinity did not cause
+.I errno
+to be set or raise a floating-point exception.
