These functions return the value of 2 raised to the power of
x.
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).
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).
These functions were added in glibc 2.1.
