    The l\bld\bde\bex\bxp\bp() function multiplies a floating-point number by an integral
    power of 2.

    The l\bld\bde\bex\bxp\bp() function returns the value of _\bx times 2 raised to the power
    _\be_\bx_\bp.

    If the resultant value would cause an overflow, the global variable _\be_\br_\br_\bn_\bo
    is set to ERANGE and the value HUGE is returned.
