ing-point number by integral power of radix

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       double scalbln(double x, long int exp);
       float scalblnf(float x, long int exp);
       long double scalblnl(long double x, long int exp);

       double scalbn(double x, int exp);
       float scalbnf(float x, int exp);
       long double scalbnl(long double x, int exp);

       Link with -lm.

   feature test macro requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       scalbln(), scalblnf(), scalblnl(): _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 ||
       _ISOC99_SOURCE; or cc -std=c99
       scalbn(), scalbnf(), scalbnl(): _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE ||
       _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE; or cc -std=c99

DESCRIPTION
       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>.

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

       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.

       If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), positive infinity (nega-
       tive infinity) is returned.

       If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) 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.

ERRORS
       see  math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error
       has occurred when calling these functions.

       The following errors can occur:

       Range error, overflow

NOTES
       These  functions  differ  from  the  obsolete  functions  described  in
       scalb(3) in the type of their second argument.  the functions described
       on this page have a second argument of an integral type, while those in
       scalb(3) have a second argument of type double.

       If  FLT_RADIX equals 2 (which is usual), then scalbn() is equivalent to
       ldexp(3).
