exp10(3)                 Library Functions Manual                exp10(3)

NAME         top

       exp10, exp10f, exp10l - base-10 exponential function

LIBRARY         top

       Math library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #define _GNU_SOURCE         /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
       #include <math.h>

       double exp10(double x);
       float exp10f(float x);
       long double exp10l(long double x);

DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions return the value of 10 raised to the power of x.

RETURN VALUE         top

       On success, these functions return the base-10 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         top

       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).

HISTORY         top

       glibc 2.1.

       not set errno to ERANGE when an underflow error occurred.
