NAME

log10, log10f, log10l - base-10 logarithmic function

SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h>
double log10(double x);
float log10f(float x);
long double log10l(long double x);

Link with -lm.


Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

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
