Searching for antilog function

Dear R-users, I have a basic question about how to determine the antilog of a variable. Say I have some number, x, which is a factor of 2 such that x = 2^y. I want to figure out what y is, i.e. I am looking for the antilog base 2 of x. I have found log2 in the Reference Manual. But I am struggling how to get the antilog of that.
You seem to be confusing log with antilog, but log2(x) and 2^y are inverses of each other, i.e. log2(2^y) equals y and 2^log2(x) equals x (up to rounding error, of course). Duncan Murdoch
