DESCRIPTION
The ilogb(), ilogbf(), and ilogbl() functions return the integral part of the base r logarithm of (|x|) as a signed integral value for non-zero x, where r is the radix of the machine’s floating point arithmetic.
The following table describes function behavior in response to exceptional arguments:
| Function | Exceptional Argument | Routine Behavior |
| ilogb(), ilogbf() ilogbl() | |x| = infinity | INT_MAX |
| ilogb(), ilogbf() ilogbl() | x = 0, NaN | INT_MIN |
