SYNOPSIS

extern long_long_double exp10m1ll (long_long_double x);

extern decimal_double exp10m1d (decimal_double x);

NB: Functions with prototypes containing underscores in type names may be available only with certain extended compilers.


DESCRIPTION

Compute the base-10 exponential of x, less one, that is, (10 to the power x) - 1".

For arguments of small magnitude, exp10m1(x) retains full accuracy, while direct computation of exp10(x) - 1 suffers loss of leading significant digits.


RETURN VALUES

Return the base-10 exponential of the argument, less one, or a NaN if the argument is a NaN.

ERRORS

If the argument is a NaN, return the argument, and set errno to EDOM. If the argument is large enough that the function value is too large to represent (i.e., it overflows), return Infinity, and set errno to ERANGE.
