+int ilogbf(float \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\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+These functions shall return the exponent part of their argument
+.IR x .
+Formally, the return value is the integral part of $log sub{r}|x|$ as a
+signed integral 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
+.IR <float.h> .
+.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
+part of
+.IR x
+as a signed integer value. They are equivalent to calling the
+corresponding
+\fIlogb\fR()
+function and casting the returned value to type
+.BR int .
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is 0, the value FP_ILOGB0 shall be returned.
+On XSI-conformant systems, a domain error shall occur;
+.br
+otherwise, a
+domain
+error may occur.
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is \(+-Inf, the value
+{INT_MAX}
+shall be returned.
+On XSI-conformant systems, a domain error shall occur;
+.br
+otherwise, a
+domain
+error may occur.
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is a NaN, the value FP_ILOGBNAN shall be returned.
+On XSI-conformant systems, a domain error shall occur;
+.br
+otherwise, a
+domain
+error may occur.
+.P
+If the correct value is greater than
+{INT_MAX},
+a domain error shall occur and
+an unspecified value shall be returned.
+On XSI-conformant systems, a domain error shall occur and
+{INT_MAX}
+shall be returned.
+.P
+If the correct value is less than
+{INT_MIN},
+a domain error shall occur and
+an unspecified value shall be returned.
+On XSI-conformant systems, a domain error shall occur and
+{INT_MIN}
+shall be returned.
+.SH ERRORS
+These functions shall fail if:
+.IP "Domain\ Error" 12
+The correct value is not representable as an integer.

+The
+.IR x
+argument is zero, NaN, or \(+-Inf.
+.P
+If the integer expression (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERRNO) is
+non-zero, then
+.IR errno
+shall be set to
+.BR [EDOM] .
+If the integer expression (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is
+non-zero, then the invalid floating-point exception shall be raised.

+.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
+The errors come from taking the expected floating-point value and
+converting it to
+.BR int ,
+which is an invalid operation in IEEE\ Std\ 754\(hy1985 (since overflow, infinity, and
+NaN are not representable in a type
+.BR int ),
+so should be a domain error.
+.P
+There are no known implementations that overflow. For overflow to
+happen,
+{INT_MAX}
+must be less than LDBL_MAX_EXP*\fIlog2\fP(FLT_RADIX) or
+{INT_MIN}
+must be greater than LDBL_MIN_EXP*\fIlog2\fP(FLT_RADIX) if subnormals
+are not supported, or
+{INT_MIN}
+must be greater than (LDBL_MIN_EXP-LDBL_MANT_DIG)*\fIlog2\fP(FLT_RADIX)
+if subnormals are supported.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
