These functions return the base-2 logarithm of x.
On success, these functions return the base-2 logarithm of x.
For special cases, including where x is 0, 1, negative, infinity, or NaN, see log(3).
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).
