.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
|
|
On success, these functions return \fIx\fP * \fBFLT_RADIX\fP ** \fIexp\fP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
.I x
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.I exp
|
|
|
|
is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
.I x
|
|
|
|
is positive infinity (negative infinity),
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.I exp
|
|
|
|
is not negative infinity,
|
|
|
|
positive infinity (negative infinity) is returned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
.I x
|
|
|
|
is +0 (\-0), and
|
|
|
|
.I exp
|
|
|
|
is not positive infinity, +0 (\-0) is returned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
.I x
|
|
|
|
is zero, and
|
|
|
|
.I exp
|
|
|
|
is positive infinity,
|
2008-08-04 16:00:58 +00:00
|
|
|
a domain error occurs, and
|
2008-08-01 05:26:41 +00:00
|
|
|
a NaN is returned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
.I x
|
|
|
|
is an infinity,
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.I exp
|
2008-08-05 10:33:06 +00:00

|
is negative infinity,

2008-08-04 16:00:58 +00:00
|
|
|
a domain error occurs, and

2008-08-01 05:26:41 +00:00
|
|
|
a NaN is returned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the result overflows,
|
2008-08-04 16:00:58 +00:00
|
|
|
a range error occurs,
|
2008-08-01 05:26:41 +00:00
|
|
|
and the functions return
|
|
|
|
.BR HUGE_VAL ,
|
|
|
|
.BR HUGE_VALF ,
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
respectively, with a sign the same as
|
|
|
|
.IR x .
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the result underflows,
|
2008-08-04 16:00:58 +00:00
|
|
|
a range error occurs,
|
2008-08-01 05:26:41 +00:00
