DESCRIPTION
The ldexp() function returns the result of multiplying the floating-point number x by 2 raised to the power exp.RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return x * (2^exp).ERRORS
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.The following errors can occur:
- Range error, overflow
- errno is set to ERANGE. An overflow floating-point exception ( FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.
- Range error, underflow
- errno is set to ERANGE. An underflow floating-point exception ( FE_UNDERFLOW) is raised.
CONFORMING TO
