NAME

   expm1, expm1f, expm1l - exponential minus 1

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

   These functions return a value equivalent to

       exp(x) - 1

   The result is computed in a way that is accurate even if the value of x
   is near zero---a case where  exp(x)  -  1  would  be  inaccurate  due  to
   subtraction of two numbers that are nearly equal.

RETURN VALUE

   On success, these functions return exp(x) - 1.

   If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.

   If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.

   If x is positive infinity, positive infinity is returned.

   If x is negative infinity, -1 is returned.

   If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return
   -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, or -HUGE_VALL, respectively.

ERRORS

   See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an  error
   has occurred when calling these functions.

   The following errors can occur:

   Range error, overflow
          errno  is  set  to ERANGE (but see BUGS).  An overflow floating-
          point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.

CONFORMING TO

   C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.

BUGS

   For  some large negative x values (where the function result approaches
   -1), expm1() raises a bogus underflow floating-point exception.

   For some large positive  x  values,  expm1()  raises  a  bogus  invalid
   floating-point   exception   in   addition  to  the  expected  overflow
   exception, and returns a NaN instead of positive infinity.

   Before version 2.11, the glibc implementation  did  not  set  errno  to
   ERANGE when a range error occurred.
