Subject: [patch] scalb.3: fix prototypes for scalbf and scalbl
Date: Sat, 23 Mar 2013 00:06:35 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k3oykbec.fsf@tines.lan> (raw)

The prototypes for scalbf and scalbl given in scalb.3 are incorrect.
If you have doubts, try compiling the following code:

  #include <math.h>
  double scalb(double x, double exp);
  float scalbf(float x, double exp);
  long double scalbl(long double x, double exp);

To gain confidence that the prototypes below are correct, compile the
following:

  #include <math.h>
  double scalb(double x, double exp);
  float scalbf(float x, float exp);
  long double scalbl(long double x, long double exp);

Or search for man pages from other sources, e.g.:

  http://www.unix.com/man-page/OpenSolaris/3m/scalbf/
  http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26505_01/html/816-5172/scalb-3m.html

The patch below fixes these mistakes.

     Thanks,
       Mark
