DESCRIPTION
These functions compute x * y + z. The result is rounded as one ternary operation according to the current rounding mode (see fenv(3)).RETURN VALUE
These functions return the value of x * y + z, rounded as one ternary operation. If x or y is a NaN, a NaN is returned. If x times y is an exact infinity, and z is an infinity with the opposite sign, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned. If one of x or y is an infinity, the other is 0, and z is not a NaN, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned. If one of x or y is an infinity, and the other is 0, and z is a NaN, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned. If x times y is not an infinity times zero (or vice versa), and z is a NaN, a NaN is returned. If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and an infinity with the correct sign is returned. If the result underflows, a range error occurs, and a signed 0 is returned.ERRORS
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions. The following errors can occur:- Domain error: x * y + z, or x * y is invalid and z is not a NaN
- An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.
- Range error: result overflow
- An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.
- Range error: result underflow
- An underflow floating-point exception (FE_UNDERFLOW) is raised.
VERSIONS
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.ATTRIBUTES
