Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

.In math.h
|

.Fn frexp "double value" "int *exp"

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn frexp ,
|
|
.Fn frexpf
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn frexpl
|
|
functions break a floating-point number into a normalized
|
|
fraction and an integral power of 2.
|
|
They store the integer in the
|
|
.Vt int
|
|
object pointed to by
|
|
.Fa exp .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
These functions return the value
|
|
.Va x ,
|
|
such that
|
|
.Va x
|
|
is a
|
|
.Vt double
|
|
with magnitude in the interval
|
|
.Eo [ 1/2 , 1 Ec )
|
|
or zero, and
|
|
.Fa value
|
|
equals
|
|
.Va x
|
|
times 2 raised to the power
|
|
.Fa *exp .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa value
|
|
is zero, both parts of the result are zero.
