<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
These functions return the result of multiplying the floating-point number
<I>x</I>
by 2 raised to the power
<I>exp</I>.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
On success, these functions return
<I>x * (2^exp)</I>.
<P>
If
<I>exp</I>
is zero, then
<I>x</I>
is returned.
<P>
If
<I>x</I>
is a NaN,
a NaN is returned.
<P>
If
<I>x</I>
is positive infinity (negative infinity),
positive infinity (negative infinity) is returned.
<P>
If the result underflows,
a range error occurs,
and zero is returned.
<P>
If the result overflows,
a range error occurs,
and the functions return
<B>HUGE_VAL</B>,
<B>HUGE_VALF</B>,
or
<B>HUGE_VALL</B>,
respectively, with a sign the same as
<I>x</I>.
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>ERRORS</H2>
See
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?7+math_error">math_error</A></B>(7)
for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
when calling these functions.
<P>
The following errors can occur:
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="2">Range error, overflow<DD>
<I>errno</I>
is set to
<B>ERANGE</B>.
An overflow floating-point exception
(<B>FE_OVERFLOW</B>)
is raised.
<DT id="3">Range error, underflow<DD>
<I>errno</I>
is set to
<B>ERANGE</B>.
An underflow floating-point exception
(<B>FE_UNDERFLOW</B>)
is raised.
