These functions multiply their first argument x by FLT_RADIX (probably 2) to the power exp.
If FLT_RADIX equals 2, then scalbn() is equivalent to ldexp().
The value of FLT_RADIX is found in <float.h>.
The scalb() function is from 4.3BSD. The scalbn() and scalbln() functions are from C99. All three are in POSIX.1-2001. The scalb() function is marked obsolescent.
