BOOTSTRAP (klibm) functions


LIBRARY ROUTINE

kexpm1 - compute the exponential function minus 1 of the argument.

LIBRARY CALL

double kexpm1(double x)

INPUT

OUTPUT

none

RETURN VALUE

the double precision exponential minus 1 of the input argument.

DESCRIPTION

The kexpm1 function computes the exponential function of the double precision input argument, then subtracts 1.

kexpm1 is not a POSIX function, but is implemented in a few BSD math libraries. If it is implemented for the current architecture in libm.a, then this is simply a macro to expm1, otherwise kexpm1 is a macro to the Khoros portable version of expm1.
