fea681da | 64 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
5600f73a | 65 | These functions return the value of e (the base of natural |
022671eb MK |
66 | logarithms) raised to the power of |
67 | .IR x . | |
3888e219 MK |
68 | .SH RETURN VALUE |
69 | On success, these functions return the exponential value of | |
70 | .IR x . | |
847e0d88 | 71 | .PP |
3888e219 MK |
72 | If |
73 | .I x | |
74 | is a NaN, | |
75 | a NaN is returned. | |
847e0d88 | 76 | .PP |
3888e219 MK |
77 | If |
78 | .I x | |
79 | is positive infinity, | |
80 | positive infinity is returned. | |
847e0d88 | 81 | .PP |
3888e219 MK |
82 | If |
83 | .I x | |
84 | is negative infinity, | |
85 | +0 is returned. | |
847e0d88 | 86 | .PP |
3888e219 | 87 | If the result underflows, |
efe294cb | 88 | a range error occurs, |
3888e219 | 89 | and zero is returned. |
847e0d88 | 90 | .PP |
3888e219 | 91 | If the result overflows, |
efe294cb | 92 | a range error occurs, |
3888e219 MK |
93 | and the functions return |
94 | .RB + HUGE_VAL , | |
95 | .RB + HUGE_VALF , | |
96 | or | |
97 | .RB + HUGE_VALL , | |
98 | respectively. | |
99 | .SH ERRORS | |
100 | See | |
101 | .BR math_error (7) | |
102 | for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred | |
103 | when calling these functions. | |
847e0d88 | 104 | .PP |
3888e219 MK |
105 | The following errors can occur: |
106 | .TP | |
107 | Range error, overflow | |
108 | .I errno | |
109 | is set to | |
110 | .BR ERANGE . | |
111 | An overflow floating-point exception | |
112 | .RB ( FE_OVERFLOW ) | |
113 | is raised. | |
114 | .TP | |
115 | Range error, underflow | |
116 | .I errno | |
117 | is set to | |
118 | .BR ERANGE . | |
119 | An underflow floating-point exception | |
120 | .RB ( FE_UNDERFLOW ) | |
121 | is raised. | |
