into a normalized fraction and an exponent.
If the argument @var{value} is not zero, the return value is @var{value}
times a power of two, and is always in the range 1/2 (inclusive) to 1
(exclusive). The corresponding exponent is stored in
times a power of two, and its magnitude is always in the range 1/2
(inclusive) to 1 (exclusive). The corresponding exponent is stored in
@code{*@var{exponent}}; the return value multiplied by 2 raised to this
exponent equals the original number @var{value}.
