LOG(3)			 BSD Library Functions Manual			LOG(3)

NAME
     log, logf, logl, log10, log10f, log1p, log1pf — logarithm functions

LIBRARY
     Math Library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <math.h>

     double
     log(double x);

     float
     logf(float x);

     double
     log10(double x);

     float
     log10f(float x);

     double
     log1p(double x);

     float
     log1pf(float x);

DESCRIPTION
     The log() and logf() functions compute the natural logarithm of x.

     The log10() and log10f() functions compute the logarithm base 10 of x.

     The log1p() and log1pf() functions compute the natural logarithm of 1 +
     x.	 Computing the natural logarithm as log1p(x) is more accurate than
     computing it as log(1 + x) when x is close to zero.

RETURN VALUES
     These functions return the requested logarithm; the logarithm of 1 is +0.
     An attempt to take the logarithm of ±0 results in a divide-by-zero excep‐
     tion, and -∞ is returned.	Otherwise, attempting to take the logarithm of
     a negative number results in an invalid exception and a return value of
     NaN.

SEE ALSO
     exp(3), ilogb(3), math(3), pow(3)

STANDARDS
     The log(), logf(), log10(), log10f(), log1p(), and log1pf() functions
     conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (“ISO C99”).
