NAME
log10, log10f, log10l - base-10 logarithmic function
LIBRARY
Math library (libm, -lm)
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> double log10(double x); float log10f(float x); long double log10l(long double x); Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): log10f(), log10l(): _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE || /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
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
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions. For a discussion of the errors that can occur for these functions, see log(3).
