- * testldexp.c test the runtime environment function ldexp
- *
- * DESCRIPTION
- *
- * This simple minded program is provided to aid in testing
- * the "ldexp" function assumed to be provided in the runtime
- * environment. If not provided, a suitable substitute can
- * be coded in C, however the necessary code is very machine
- * dependent and is generally almost trivial to code in assembly
- * language for the specific host machine.
- *
- * The ldexp() function takes two arguments, the first is a double
- * which is the mantissa of the returned double value. The second
- * is an int which is the exponent of the returned double. The
- * result is (mantissa * (2 ** exp)).
- *
- * See "frexp(3C)" in the Unix System V User's Manual for more
- * information.
- *
- * This program is typically used as:
- *
- * testldexp <testldexp.in >junkfile
- * diff testldexp.out junkfile
- *
