MODF(3)                                             Linux Programmer's Manual                                            MODF(3)



NAME
       modf, modff, modfl - extract signed integral and fractional values from floating-point number

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       double modf(double x, double *iptr);
       float modff(float x, float *iptr);
       long double modfl(long double x, long double *iptr);

       Link with -lm.

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       modf(), modl(): _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE; or cc -std=c99

DESCRIPTION
       The modf() function breaks the argument x into an integral part and a fractional part, each of which has the same sign as
       x.  The integral part is stored in the location pointed to by iptr.

RETURN VALUE
       The modf() function returns the fractional part of x.

       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned, and *iptr is set to a NaN.

       If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), +0 (-0) is returned, and *iptr  is  set  to  positive  infinity  (negative
       infinity).

ERRORS
       No errors occur.

CONFORMING TO
       C99, POSIX.1-2001.  The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
