+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions return the natural logarithm of
+.IR x .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, these functions return the natural logarithm of
+.IR x .
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is a NaN,
+a NaN is returned.
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is 1, the result is +0.
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is positive infinity,
+positive infinity is returned.
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is zero,
+then a pole error occurs, and the functions return
+.RB \- HUGE_VAL ,
+.RB \- HUGE_VALF ,
+or
+.RB \- HUGE_VALL ,
+respectively.
+.P
+If
+.I x
+is negative (including negative infinity), then
+a domain error occurs, and a NaN (not a number) is returned.
+.SH ERRORS
+See
+.BR math_error (7)
+for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
+when calling these functions.
+.P
+The following errors can occur:
+.TP
+Domain error: \fIx\fP is negative
+.I errno
+is set to
+.BR EDOM .
+An invalid floating-point exception
+.RB ( FE_INVALID )
+is raised.
+.TP
+Pole error: \fIx\fP is zero
+.I errno
+is set to
+.BR ERANGE .
+A divide-by-zero floating-point exception
+.RB ( FE_DIVBYZERO )
+is raised.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
+For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
+.BR attributes (7).

+.P
+The variant returning
+.I double
+also conforms to
+SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
+.SH BUGS
+In glibc 2.5 and earlier,
+taking the
+.BR log ()
+of a NaN produces a bogus invalid floating-point
+.RB ( FE_INVALID )
+exception.
