+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions compute
+.IR x " * " y " + " z .
+The result is rounded as one ternary operation according to the
+current rounding mode (see
+.BR fenv (3)).
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+These functions return the value of
+.IR x " * " y " + " z ,
+rounded as one ternary operation.
+.P
+If
+.I x
+or
+.I y
+is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
+.P
+If
+.I x
+times
+.I y
+is an exact infinity, and
+.I z
+is an infinity with the opposite sign,
+a domain error occurs,
+and a NaN is returned.
+.P
+.\" POSIX.1-2008 allows some possible differences for the following two
+.\" domain error cases, but on Linux they are treated the same (AFAICS).
+.\" Nevertheless, we'll mirror POSIX.1 and describe the two cases
+.\" separately.
+If one of
+.I x
+or
+.I y
+is an infinity, the other is 0, and
+.I z
+is not a NaN,
+a domain error occurs, and
+a NaN is returned.
+.\" POSIX.1 says that a NaN or an implementation-defined value shall
+.\" be returned for this case.
+.P
+If one of
+.I x
+or
+.I y
+is an infinity, and the other is 0, and
+.I z
+is a NaN,
+.\" POSIX.1 makes the domain error optional for this case.
+a domain error occurs, and
+a NaN is returned.
+.P
+If
+.I x
+times
+.I y
+is not an infinity times zero (or vice versa), and
+.I z
+is a NaN,
+a NaN is returned.
+.P
+If the result overflows,
+a range error occurs, and
+an infinity with the correct sign is returned.
+.P
+If the result underflows,
+a range error occurs, and
+a signed 0 is returned.
+.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
+Domain error: \fIx\fP * \fIy\fP + \fIz\fP, \
+or \fIx\fP * \fIy\fP is invalid and \fIz\fP is not a NaN
+.\" .I errno
+.\" is set to
+.\" .BR EDOM .
+An invalid floating-point exception
+.RB ( FE_INVALID )
+is raised.
+.TP
+Range error: result overflow
+.\" .I errno
+.\" is set to
+.\" .BR ERANGE .
+An overflow floating-point exception
+.RB ( FE_OVERFLOW )
+is raised.
+.TP
+Range error: result underflow
+.\" .I errno
+.\" is set to
+.\" .BR ERANGE .
+An underflow floating-point exception
+.RB ( FE_UNDERFLOW )
+is raised.
+.P
+These functions do not set
+.IR errno .
+.\" FIXME . Is it intentional that these functions do not set errno?
