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.
