+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions return the value of e (the base of natural
+logarithms) raised to the power of
+.IR x .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, these functions return the exponential value of
+.IR x .
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is a NaN,
+a NaN is returned.
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is positive infinity,
+positive infinity is returned.
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is negative infinity,
++0 is returned.
+.P
+If the result underflows,
+a range error occurs,
+and zero is returned.
+.P
+If the result overflows,
+a range error occurs,
+and the functions return
+.RB + HUGE_VAL ,
+.RB + HUGE_VALF ,
+or
+.RB + HUGE_VALL ,
+respectively.
+.SH ERRORS
+See
+.BR math_error (7)
+for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
+when calling these functions.
+.P
+The following errors can occur:
+.TP
+Range error, overflow
+.I errno
+is set to
+.BR ERANGE .
+An overflow floating-point exception
+.RB ( FE_OVERFLOW )
+is raised.
+.TP
+Range error, underflow
+.I errno
+is set to
+.BR ERANGE .
+An underflow floating-point exception
+.RB ( FE_UNDERFLOW )
+is raised.
