EXP2(3) Linux Programmer's Manual EXP2(3)
NAME
exp2, exp2f, exp2l - base-2 exponential function
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double exp2(double x);
float exp2f(float x);
long double exp2l(long double x);
Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
exp2(), exp2f(), exp2l():
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
DESCRIPTION
These functions return the value of 2 raised to the power of x.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the base-2 exponential value of x.
For various special cases, including the handling of infinity and NaN, as well as overflows and underflows, see exp(3).
ERRORS
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.
For a discussion of the errors that can occur for these functions, see exp(3).
VERSIONS
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
