+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn exp ,
+.Fn expf ,
+and
+.Fn expl
+functions compute the base
+.Ms e
+exponential value of the given argument
+.Fa x .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn exp2 ,
+.Fn exp2f ,
+and
+.Fn exp2l
+functions compute the base 2 exponential of the given argument
+.Fa x .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn expm1 ,
+.Fn expm1f
+and
+.Fn expm1l
+functions compute the value exp(x)\-1 accurately even for tiny argument
+.Fa x .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+These functions will return the appropriate computation unless an error
+occurs or an argument is out of range.
+The functions
+.Fn exp
+and
+.Fn expm1
+detect if the computed value will overflow,
+set the global variable
+.Va errno
+to
+.Er ERANGE
+and cause a reserved operand fault on a
+.Tn VAX .
