#include <math.h> double frexp(double x, int *exp); float frexpf(float x, int *exp); long double frexpl(long double x, int *exp);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
frexpf(), frexpl():
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE || /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
If x is zero, then the normalized fraction is zero and zero is stored in exp.
If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned, and the value of *exp is unspecified.
If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), positive infinity (negative infinity) is returned, and the value of *exp is unspecified.

The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD.
