CLOG(3)                      complex math routines                     CLOG(3)



NAME
       clog(1,3), clogf, clogl - natural logarithm of a complex number

SYNOPSIS
       #include <complex.h>

       double complex clog(1,3)(double complex z);

       float complex clogf(float complex z);

       long double complex clogl(long double complex z);

       Link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION
       The  logarithm  clog(1,3)  is  the inverse function of the exponential cexp.
       Thus, if(3,n) y = clog(1,3)(z), then z = cexp(y).  The imaginary  part  of  y  is
       chosen in(1,8) the interval [-pi,pi].

       One has clog(1,3)(z) = log(cabs(z))+I*carg(z).

       Please note that z close(2,7,n) to zero will cause an overflow.
