-@deftypefunx {long double} logbl (long double @var{x})
-These functions return the integer part of the base-2 logarithm of
-@var{x}, an integer value represented in type @code{double}. This is
-the highest integer power of @code{2} contained in @var{x}. The sign of
-@var{x} is ignored. For example, @code{logb (3.5)} is @code{1.0} and
-@code{logb (4.0)} is @code{2.0}.
-
-When @code{2} raised to this power is divided into @var{x}, it gives a
-quotient between @code{1} (inclusive) and @code{2} (exclusive).
-
-If @var{x} is zero, the return value is minus infinity if the machine
-supports infinities, and a very small number if it does not. If @var{x}
-is infinity, the return value is infinity.
-
-For finite @var{x}, the value returned by @code{logb} is one less than
-the value that @code{frexp} would store into @code{*@var{exponent}}.
