log10(3M) Mathematical Library Functions log10(3M) NAME
log10, log10f, log10l - base 10 logarithm function SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ] #include <math.h> double log10(double x); float log10f(float x); long double log10l(long double x); DESCRIPTION
These functions compute the base 10 logarithm of x, log10(x). RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, log10() returns the base 10 logarithm of x. If x is +-0, a pole error occurs and log10(), log10f(), and log10l() return -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, and -HUGE_VALL, respectively. For finite values of x that are less than 0, or if x is -Inf, a domain error occurs and a NaN is returned. If x is NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is 1, +0 is returned. If x is +Inf, x is returned. For exceptional cases, matherr(3M) tabulates the values to be returned by log10() as specified by SVID3 and XPG3. ERRORS
These functions will fail if: Domain Error The finite value of x is negative, or x is -Inf. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, the invalid floating-point exception is raised. The log10() function sets errno to EDOM if the value of x is negative. Pole Error The value of x is 0. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, the divide-by-zero floating-point exception is raised. USAGE
An application wanting to check for exceptions should call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an exception has been raised. An application should either examine the return value or check the floating point exception flags to detect exceptions. An application can also set errno to 0 before calling log10(). On return, if errno is non-zero, an error has occurred. The log10f() and log10l() functions do not set errno. ATTRIBUTES

log(3M) Mathematical Library Functions log(3M) NAME
log, logf, logl - natural logarithm function SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ] #include <math.h> double log(double x); float logf(float x); long double logl(long double x); DESCRIPTION
These functions compute the natural logarithm of their argument x, loge(x). RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, log() returns the natural logarithm of x. If x is +-0, a pole error occurs and log(), logf(), and logl() return -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, and -HUGE_VALL, respectively. For finite values of x that are less than 0, or if x is -Inf, a domain error occurs and a NaN is returned. If x is NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is 1, +0 is returned. If x is +Inf, x is returned.
