NAME
       expm1, expm1f, expm1l  - exponential minus 1

SYNOPSIS
       #include 

       double expm1(double x);
       float expm1f(float x);
       long double expm1l(long double x);

       Link with -lm.

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       expm1(), expm1f(), expm1l(): _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE ||
       _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || _ISOC99_SOURCE; or cc -std=c99

DESCRIPTION
       expm1(x) returns a value equivalent to

	   exp(x) - 1

       It is computed in a way that is accurate even if the value of x is near
       zeroa  case where exp(x) - 1 would be inaccurate due to subtraction of
       two numbers that are nearly equal.

CONFORMING TO
       BSD, C99.  The float and long double variants are C99 requirements.
