.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.BR ldexp ()
-function returns the result of multiplying the floating-point number
+These functions return the result of multiplying the floating-point number
.I x
by 2 raised to the power
.IR exp .
.SH RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return
.IR "x * (2^exp)" .
-
+.PP
If
.I exp
is zero, then
.I x
is returned.
-
+.PP
If
.I x
is a NaN,
a NaN is returned.
-
+.PP
If
.I x
is positive infinity (negative infinity),
positive infinity (negative infinity) is returned.
-
+.PP
If the result underflows,
a range error occurs,
and zero is returned.

If the result overflows,
a range error occurs,
and the functions return
