+.Nm cexpf
+.Nd complex exponential functions
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libm
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In complex.h
+.Ft double complex
+.Fn cexp "double complex z"
+.Ft float complex
+.Fn cexpf "float complex z"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn cexp
+and
+.Fn cexpf
+functions compute the complex exponential of
+.Fa z ,
+also known as
+.Em cis Ns ( Ns
+.Fa z Ns )
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+For real numbers
+.Fa x
+and
+.Fa y ,
+.Fn cexp
+behaves according to Euler's formula:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Fn cexp "x + I*y"
+=
+.Ns ( Sy e Ns ** Ns
+.Fa x *
+.Em cos Ns ( Ns
+.Fa y Ns )) + ( Ns
+.Sy I
+*
+.Sy e Ns ** Ns
+.Fa x
+*
+.Em sin Ns ( Ns
+.Fa y Ns ))
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Generally speaking, infinities, zeroes and \*(Nas are handled as would
+be expected from this identity given the usual rules of floating-point
+arithmetic.
+However, care is taken to avoid generating \*(Nas when they are not deserved.
+For example, mathematically we expect that
+.Fo cimag
+.Fn cexp "x + I*0" Fc
+= 0 regardless of the value of
+.Fa x ,
+and
+.Fn cexp
+preserves this identity even if
+.Fa x
+is \*(If or \*(Na.
+Likewise,
+.Fn cexp "-\*(If + I*y"
+= 0 and
+.Fo creal
+.Fn cexp "\*(If + I*y" Fc
+= \*(If
+for any
+.Fa y
+(even though the latter property is only mathematically true for
+representable
+.Fa y . )
+If
+.Fa y
+is not finite, the sign of the result is indeterminate.
