maybe, if nobody answers, you have to roll your own, and then you can
contribute it back...
with
real frexp (real value, out int exp);
and then a bit per bit extraction of value using scalbn or ldexp,
checking >=0, removing the bit and iterating... e even simpler multipy
with 2**n_mantissa and cast to integer, and you should be able to do
convert a float in two integers that you can then write out.
one should be careful and check that with denormalized numbers it still works
