Re: expm1(3p): Mathematical error in given example

In the APPLICATION USAGE section of expm1(3p)[1] the given example is wrong:

===8<=== Snip =========================================

[..] calculations of ((1+x)n-1)/x, namely:

          expm1(n * log1p(x))/x

======== Snap ====================================>8===

Actually, both expressions are not equal, rather

expm1(n * log1p(x))/x = ((1+x)**n - 1)/x

(with a fictional ** as power infix-operator) would be.

[...]

We don't maintain the source of the POSIX manual pages.  You could file 
a bug to the Austin Group.

As Walter noted in another mail, the POSIX sources are correct.

This is a problem with conversion to the man page format, which should 
be reported here, not to the Austin Group.
