NAME
       log, logf, logl - natural logarithmic function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       double log(double x);
       float logf(float x);
       long double logl(long double x);

       Link with -lm.

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       logf(), logl():
	   _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
	       || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
	       || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION
       These functions return the natural logarithm of x.

RETURN VALUE
       On success, these functions return the natural logarithm of x.

       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.

       If x is 1, the result is +0.

       If x is positive infinity, positive infinity is returned.

       If  x  is  zero,	 then  a  pole	error occurs, and the functions return
       -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, or -HUGE_VALL, respectively.

       If x is negative (including negative infinity),	then  a	 domain	 error
       occurs, and a NaN (not a number) is returned.

ERRORS
       See  math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error
       has occurred when calling these functions.

       The following errors can occur:

       Domain error: x is negative
	      errno is set  to	EDOM.	An  invalid  floating-point  exception
	      (FE_INVALID) is raised.

       Pole error: x is zero
	      errno  is set to ERANGE.	A divide-by-zero floating-point excep‐
	      tion (FE_DIVBYZERO) is raised.

ATTRIBUTES
       For  an	explanation  of	 the  terms  used   in	 this	section,   see
       attributes(7).

CONFORMING TO
       C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.

       The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.

BUGS
       In  glibc  2.5  and earlier, taking the log() of a NaN produces a bogus
       invalid floating-point (FE_INVALID) exception.
