exp10(3) Library Functions Manualexp10(3)exp10, exp10f, exp10l - base-10 exponential function
Math library (libm,-lm)
#define _GNU_SOURCE/* See feature_test_macros(7) */#include <math.h>double exp10(doublex);float exp10f(floatx);long double exp10l(long doublex);
These functions return the value of 10 raised to the power ofx.
On success, these functions return the base-10 exponential value ofx. For various special cases, including the handling of infinity and NaN, as well as overflows and underflows, seeexp(3).
Seemath_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions. For a discussion of the errors that can occur for these functions, seeexp(3).

GNU.
glibc 2.1.
Before glibc 2.19, the glibc implementation of these functions did not seterrno toERANGEwhen an underflow error occurred.
