47 .TH LOG1P 3M "Jul 12, 2006" "SunOS 5.11" "Mathematical Library Functions"
49 log1p, log1pf, log1pl \- compute natural logarithm
53 c99 [ \fIflag\fR... ] \fIfile\fR... \fB-lm\fR [ \fIlibrary\fR... ]
56 \fBdouble\fR \fBlog1p\fR(\fBdouble\fR \fIx\fR);
61 \fBfloat\fR \fBlog1pf\fR(\fBfloat\fR \fIx\fR);
66 \fBlong double\fR \fBlog1pl\fR(\fBlong double\fR \fIx\fR);
72 These functions compute log(e)(1.0 + \fIx\fR).
76 Upon successful completion, these functions return the natural logarithm of 1.0
80 If \fIx\fR is \(mi1, a pole error occurs and \fBlog1p()\fR, \fBlog1pf()\fR, and
81 \fBlog1pl()\fR return \(mi\fBHUGE_VAL\fR, \(mi\fBHUGE_VALF\fR, and
82 \(mi\fBHUGE_VALL\fR, respectively.
85 For finite values of \fIx\fR that are less than \(mi1, or if \fIx\fR is
86 \(miInf, a domain error occurs and a NaN is returned.
89 If \fIx\fR is NaN, a NaN is returned.
92 If \fIx\fR is \(+-0 or +Inf, \fIx\fR is returned.
95 For exceptional cases, \fBmatherr\fR(3M) tabulates the values to be returned by
96 \fBlog1p()\fR as specified by SVID3 and XPG3.
100 These functions will fail if:
109 The finite value of \fIx\fR is less than \(mi1, or \fIx\fR is -Inf.
111 If the integer expression (\fBmath_errhandling\fR & \fBMATH_ERREXCEPT\fR) is
112 non-zero, the invalid floating-point exception is raised.
114 The \fBlog1p()\fR function sets \fBerrno\fR to \fBEDOM\fR if the value of
115 \fIx\fR is less than \(mi1.
126 The value of \fIx\fR is \(mi1.
128 If the integer expression (\fBmath_errhandling\fR & \fBMATH_ERREXCEPT\fR) is
129 non-zero, the divide-by-zero floating-point exception is raised.
135 An application wanting to check for exceptions should call
136 \fBfeclearexcept\fR(\fBFE_ALL_EXCEPT\fR) before calling these functions. On
137 return, if \fBfetestexcept\fR(\fBFE_INVALID\fR | \fBFE_DIVBYZERO\fR |
138 \fBFE_OVERFLOW\fR | \fBFE_UNDERFLOW\fR) is non-zero, an exception has been
139 raised. An application should either examine the return value or check the
140 floating point exception flags to detect exceptions.
143 An application can also set \fBerrno\fR to 0 before calling \fBlog1p()\fR. On
144 return, if \fBerrno\fR is non-zero, an error has occurred. The \fBlog1pf()\fR
145 and \fBlog1pl()\fR functions do not set \fBerrno\fR.
