      F_TYPE logb (F_TYPE x)

1  –  Description

    logb() returns a signed integer converted to double-precision
    floating-point and so chosen that 1 <= |x|/2**n < 2 unless x = 0
    or |x| = infinity.

    IEEE Std 754 defines logb(+infinity) = +infinity and logb(0) =
    -infinity. The latter is required to signal division by zero.
