LOG1P(P)		   POSIX Programmer's Manual		      LOG1P(P)

NAME
       log1p, log1pf, log1pl - compute a natural logarithm

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       double log1p(double x);
       float log1pf(float x);
       long double log1pl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION
       These functions shall compute log_e(1.0 + x).

       An  application	wishing to check for error situations should set errno
       to zero and  call  feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)	before	calling	 these
       functions.   On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID
       | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error  has
       occurred.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful	 completion,  these functions shall return the natural
       logarithm of 1.0 + x.

       If x is -1, a  pole  error  shall  occur	 and  log1p(),	log1pf(),  and
       log1pl()	 shall	return	-HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, and -HUGE_VALL, respec‐
       tively.

       For finite values of x that are less than -1,	or if x	 is  -Inf,   a
       domain  error  shall occur, and	  either a NaN (if supported), or   an
       implementation-defined value shall be returned.

       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

       If x is ±0, or +Inf, x shall be returned.

       If x is subnormal, a range error may occur and x should be returned.

ERRORS
       These functions shall fail if:

       Domain Error
	      The finite value of x is less than -1,	or x is -Inf.

       If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is  non-zero,
       then   errno  shall  be	set  to	 [EDOM].  If  the  integer  expression
       (math_errhandling &  MATH_ERREXCEPT)  is	 non-zero,  then  the  invalid
       floating-point exception shall be raised.

       Pole Error
	      The value of x is -1.

       If  the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero,
       then errno  shall  be  set  to  [ERANGE].  If  the  integer  expression
       (math_errhandling  &  MATH_ERREXCEPT)  is non-zero, then the divide-by-
       zero floating-point exception shall be raised.

       These functions may fail if:

       Range Error
	      The value of x is subnormal.

       If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is  non-zero,
       then  errno  shall  be  set  to	[ERANGE].  If  the  integer expression
       (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is  non-zero,  then	the  underflow
       floating-point exception shall be raised.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION USAGE
       On   error,   the   expressions	(math_errhandling  &  MATH_ERRNO)  and
       (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other,  but
       at least one of them must be non-zero.

RATIONALE
       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
