exp2(3)                    Library Functions Manual                    exp2(3)

NAME
       exp2, exp2f, exp2l - base-2 exponential function

LIBRARY
       Math library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       double exp2(double x);
       float exp2f(float x);
       long double exp2l(long double x);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       exp2(), exp2f(), exp2l():
           _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L

DESCRIPTION
       These functions return the value of 2 raised to the power of x.

RETURN VALUE
       On success, these functions return the base-2 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
       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).
