DESCRIPTION

23       These functions return the value of 2 raised to the power of x.
24

RETURN VALUE

26       On success, these functions return the base-2 exponential value of x.
27
28       For  various special cases, including the handling of infinity and NaN,
29       as well as overflows and underflows, see exp(3).
