DESCRIPTION

23       These  functions  compute  x  *  y  +  z.  The result is rounded as one
24       ternary operation according to the current rounding mode (see fenv(3)).
25

RETURN VALUE

27       These functions return the value of x * y + z, rounded as  one  ternary
28       operation.
29
30       If x or y is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
31
32       If  x times y is an exact infinity, and z is an infinity with the oppo‐
33       site sign, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
34
35       If one of x or y is an infinity, the other is 0, and z is not a NaN,  a
36       domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
37
38       If  one of x or y is an infinity, and the other is 0, and z is a NaN, a
39       domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
40
41       If x times y is not an infinity times zero (or vice versa), and z is  a
42       NaN, a NaN is returned.
43
44       If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and an infinity with the
45       correct sign is returned.
46
47       If the result underflows, a range error  occurs,  and  a  signed  0  is
48       returned.

ERRORS

51       See  math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error
52       has occurred when calling these functions.
53
54       The following errors can occur:
55
56       Domain error: x * y + z, or x * y is invalid and z is not a NaN
57              An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.
58
59       Range error: result overflow
60              An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.
61
62       Range error: result underflow
63              An underflow floating-point exception (FE_UNDERFLOW) is raised.
64
65       These functions do not set errno.
66

VERSIONS

68       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
