NAME
expd64(), expd128(), expd32() - decimal exponential functions
SYNOPSIS
#define __STDC_WANT_DEC_FP__
#include <math.h>
_Decimal64 expd64(_Decimal64 x);
_Decimal128 expd128(_Decimal128 x);
_Decimal32 expd32(_Decimal32 x);
DESCRIPTION
expd64() returns e
x
.
expd128() is a _Decimal128 version of expd64(); it takes a
_Decimal128 argument and returns
a
_Decimal128 result.
expd32() is a _Decimal32 version of expd64(); it takes a
_Decimal32 argument and returns a
_Decimal32 result.
These math functions are supported for HP-UX 11i Version 3 September 2008 Update and forward.
USAGE
To use any of these functions, compile with the +decfp option.
Make sure your program defines
__STDC_WANT_DEC_FP__
and then includes <math.h>.
Link in the math library by specifying
-lm or -l:libm.a on the linking command line.
For more information, see the HP-UX floating-point guide for HP Integrity servers at the following site:

.
RETURN VALUE
expd64(±0) returns 1.
If x is +infinity,
expd64() returns +infinity.
If x is −infinity,
expd64() returns +0.
If x is NaN,
expd64() returns NaN.
expd64() returns +infinity (or, in some non-default rounding direction modes, the maximum finite
number) in lieu of a value whose magnitude is too large, and raises the overflow and inexact exceptions.
expd64() raises the underflow exception whenever a result is tiny (essentially subnormal or zero) and
inexact.
expd64() raises the inexact exception whenever a rounded result does not equal the mathematical
result.
ERRORS
If the correct value would overflow,
expd64() sets errno to [ERANGE].

STANDARDS CONFORMANCE
These functions conform to ISO/IEC TR 24732, "Extension for the programming language C to support
decimal floating-point arithmetic".
