+.Sh NAME
+.Nm frexp ,
+.Nm frexpf ,
+.Nm frexpl
+.Nd convert floating-point number to fractional and integral components
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libm
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In math.h
+.Ft double
+.Fn frexp "double value" "int *exp"
+.Ft float
+.Fn frexpf "float value" "int *exp"
+.Ft long double
+.Fn frexpl "long double value" "int *exp"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn frexp ,
+.Fn frexpf
+and
+.Fn frexpl
+functions break a floating-point number into a normalized
+fraction and an integral power of 2.
+They store the integer in the
+.Vt int
+object pointed to by
+.Fa exp .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+These functions return the value
+.Va x ,
+such that
+.Va x
+is a
+.Vt double
+with magnitude in the interval
+.Eo [ 1/2 , 1 Ec )
+or zero, and
+.Fa value
+equals
+.Va x
+times 2 raised to the power
+.Fa *exp .
+If
+.Fa value
+is zero, both parts of the result are zero.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr ldexp 3 ,
+.Xr math 3 ,
+.Xr modf 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn frexp ,
+.Fn frexpf ,
+and
+.Fn frexpl
+functions conform to
+.St -isoC-99 .
