pow10(3)                 Library Functions Manual                pow10(3)

NAME         top

       pow10, pow10f, pow10l - base-10 power functions

LIBRARY         top

       Math library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS         top

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

       double pow10(double x);
       float pow10f(float x);
       long double pow10l(long double x);

DESCRIPTION         top

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

       Note well: These functions perform exactly the same task as the
       functions described in exp10(3), with the difference that the
       latter functions are now standardized in TS 18661-4:2015.  Those
       latter functions should be used in preference to the functions
       described in this page.
