LOG10(P)		   POSIX Programmer's Manual		      LOG10(P)

PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the	 corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       log10, log10f, log10l - base 10 logarithm function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       double log10(double x);
       float log10f(float x);
       long double log10l(long double x);

DESCRIPTION
       These functions shall compute the base 10 logarithm of  their  argument
       x, log_10(x).

       An  application	wishing to check for error situations should set errno
       to zero and  call  feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)	before	calling	 these
       functions.   On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID
       | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error  has
       occurred.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful	 completion,  these functions shall return the base 10
       logarithm of x.

       If x is ±0, a  pole  error  shall  occur	 and  log10(),	log10f(),  and
       log10l()	 shall	return	-HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, and -HUGE_VALL, respec‐
       tively.

       For finite values of x that are less than 0,    or if  x	 is  -Inf,   a
       domain  error  shall occur, and	  either a NaN (if supported), or   an
       implementation-defined value shall be returned.

       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

       If x is 1, +0 shall be returned.

       If x is +Inf, +Inf shall be returned.

ERRORS
       These functions shall fail if:

       Domain Error
	      The finite value of x is negative,    or x is -Inf.

       If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is  non-zero,
       then   errno  shall  be	set  to	 [EDOM].  If  the  integer  expression
       (math_errhandling &  MATH_ERREXCEPT)  is	 non-zero,  then  the  invalid
       floating-point exception shall be raised.

       Pole Error
	      The value of x is zero.

       If  the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero,
       then errno  shall  be  set  to  [ERANGE].  If  the  integer  expression
       (math_errhandling  &  MATH_ERREXCEPT)  is non-zero, then the divide-by-
       zero floating-point exception shall be raised.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION USAGE
       On  error,  the	expressions  (math_errhandling	 &   MATH_ERRNO)   and
       (math_errhandling  & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but
       at least one of them must be non-zero.

RATIONALE
       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
