.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the result overflows,
|
|
a range error occurs,
|
|
and the functions return
|
|
.BR HUGE_VAL ,
|
|
.BR HUGE_VALF ,
|
|
or
|
|
.BR HUGE_VALL ,
|
|
respectively, with a sign the same as
|
|
.IR x .
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
See
|
|
.BR math_error (7)
|
|
for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
|
|
when calling these functions.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The following errors can occur:
|
|
.TP
|
|
Range error, overflow
|
|
.I errno
|
|
is set to
|
|
.BR ERANGE .
|
|
An overflow floating-point exception
|
|
.RB ( FE_OVERFLOW )
|
|
is raised.
|
|
.TP
|
|
Range error, underflow
|
|
.I errno
|
|
is set to
|
|
.BR ERANGE .
|
|
An underflow floating-point exception
|
|
.RB ( FE_UNDERFLOW )
|
|
is raised.
