log1p(3) - Linux man page
Name
log1p, log1pf, log1pl - logarithm of 1 plus argument
Synopsis
#include <math.h> double log1p(double x); float log1pf(float x); long double log1pl(long double x);Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
- log1p():
- _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || _XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED || _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >=
200112L;
or cc -std=c99 - log1pf(), log1pl():

or cc -std=c99
Description
log1p(x) returns a value equivalent to
log (1 + x)It is computed in a way that is accurate even if the value of x is near zero.
Return Value
On success, these functions return the natural logarithm of (1 + x).
If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is positive infinity, positive infinity is returned.
If x is -1, a pole error occurs, and the functions return -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, or -HUGE_VALL, respectively.
If x is less than -1 (including negative infinity), a domain error occurs, and a NaN (not a number) is returned.
Errors
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.
The following errors can occur:
- Domain error: x is less than -1
- An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.
- Pole error: x is -1
- A divide-by-zero floating-point exception (FE_DIVBYZERO) is raised.
- These functions do not set errno.
