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.
