DESCRIPTION

These functions return the base-10 logarithm of x.

RETURN VALUE

On success, these functions return the base-10 logarithm of x.

For special cases, including where x is 0, 1, negative, infinity, or NaN, see log(3).

ERRORS

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

For a discussion of the errors that can occur for these functions, see log(3).
