Use the -l m option to qcc to link against this library.

The exp2(), exp2f(), and exp2l() functions compute the base-2 exponential function of x (i.e., 2^x).

To check for error situations, use feclearexcept() and fetestexcept(). For example:

Call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling exp2(), exp2f(), or exp2l().
On return, if fetestexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) is nonzero, then an error has occurred.

The base-2 exponential function of x.

If `x` is:	These functions return:	Errors:
±0.0	1	—
A value that would cause overflow	Inf	FE_OVERFLOW
A value that would cause underflow	0.0	FE_UNDERFLOW
-Inf	0.0	—
Inf	Inf	—
NaN	NaN	—

These functions raise FE_INEXACT if the FPU reports that the result can't be exactly represented as a floating-point number.
