DESCRIPTION
These functions return the result of multiplying the
floating-point number x by 2 raised to the power
exp.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return x * (2^exp).
If exp is zero,
then x is
returned.
If x is a NaN, a
NaN is returned.
If x is positive
infinity (negative infinity), positive infinity (negative
infinity) is returned.
If the result underflows, a range error occurs, and zero is returned.
If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the
functions return HUGE_VAL,
HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL, respectively, with a sign the
same as x.
ERRORS
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.
The following errors can occur:
- Range error, overflow
-
errnois set to ERANGE. An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised. - Range error, underflow
-
errnois set to ERANGE. An underflow floating-point exception (FE_UNDERFLOW) is raised.
ATTRIBUTES

CONFORMING TO
