This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface

Application Usage

       On  error,  the  expressions  (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are
       independent of each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.

Description

       The  functionality  described  on  this  reference  page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict
       between the requirements described  here  and  the  ISO C  standard  is  unintentional.  This  volume  of
       POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       These functions shall compute the base-2 exponential of x.

       An   application   wishing   to   check   for  error  situations  should  set  errno  to  zero  and  call
       feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before  calling  these  functions.  On  return,  if  errno  is  non-zero  or
       fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred.

Errors

       These functions shall fail if:

       Range Error The result overflows.

                   If  the  integer  expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be
                   set to [ERANGE].  If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is  non-zero,
                   then the overflow floating-point exception shall be raised.

       These functions may fail if:

       Range Error The result underflows.

                   If  the  integer  expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be
                   set to [ERANGE].  If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is  non-zero,
                   then the underflow floating-point exception shall be raised.

Name

       exp2, exp2f, exp2l — exponential base 2 functions

Prolog

       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface
       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.

Rationale

       None.

Return Value

       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return 2x.

       If  the  correct  value  would cause overflow, a range error shall occur and exp2(), exp2f(), and exp2l()
       shall return the value of the macro HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, and HUGE_VALL, respectively.

       If the correct value would cause underflow, and is not  representable,  a  range  error  may  occur,  and
       exp2(),  exp2f(),  and  exp2l()  shall  return  0.0,  or  (if  the IEC 60559 Floating-Point option is not
       supported) an implementation-defined value no greater in magnitude than DBL_MIN, FLT_MIN,  and  LDBL_MIN,
       respectively.

       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

       If x is ±0, 1 shall be returned.

       If x is -Inf, +0 shall be returned.

       If x is +Inf, x shall be returned.

       If the correct value would cause underflow, and is representable, a range error may occur and the correct
       value shall be returned.
