NAME

6       clog, clogf, clogl - natural logarithm of a complex number
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <complex.h>
10
11       double complex clog(double complex z);
12       float complex clogf(float complex z);
13       long double complex clogl(long double complex z);

DESCRIPTION

18       These  functions  calculate  the complex natural logarithm of z, with a
19       branch cut along the negative real axis.
20
21       The logarithm  clog()  is  the  inverse  function  of  the  exponential
22       cexp(3).   Thus,  if y = clog(z), then z = cexp(y).  The imaginary part
23       of y is chosen in the interval [-pi,pi].
24
25       One has:
26
27           clog(z) = log(cabs(z)) + I * carg(z)
28
29       Note that z close to zero will cause an overflow.

VERSIONS

32       These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
