LOG(3)                     Linux Programmer's Manual                    LOG(3)
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.

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.
