+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The following functions compute logarithms:
+.Bl -bullet -offset 2n
+.It
+The
+.Fn log ,
+.Fn logf
+and
+.Fn logl
+functions return the natural logarithm.
+.It
+The
+.Fn log10 ,
+.Fn log10f
+and
+.Fn log10l
+functions return the base 10 logarithm.
+.It
+The
+.Fn log1p ,
+.Fn log1pf
+and
+.Fn log1pl
+functions return the natural logarithm of (1.0 +
+.Fa x )
+accurately even for very small values of
+.Fa x .
+.It
+The
+.Fn log2 ,
+.Fn log2f
+and
+.Fn log2l
+functions return the base 2 logarithm.
+.El
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion, the functions return the logarithm of
+.Fa x
+as described above.
+Otherwise the following may occur:
+.Bl -enum -offset indent
+.It
+If
+.Fa x
+is \*(Na, all functions return \*(Na.
+.It
+If
+.Fa x
+is positive infinity, all functions return
+.Fa x .
+If
+.Fa x
+is negative infinity, all functions return \*(Na.
+.It
+If
+.Fa x
+is +0.0 or -0.0, the
+.Fn log ,
+.Fn log10 ,
+and
+.Fn log2
+families return either
+.Dv -HUGE_VAL ,
+.Dv -HUGE_VALF ,
+or
+.Dv -HUGE_VALL ,
+whereas the
+.Fn log1p
+family returns
+.Fa x .
+.It
+If
+.Fa x
+is +1.0, the
+.Fn log ,
+.Fn log10 ,
+and
+.Fn log2
+families return +0.0.
+If
+.Fa x
+is -1.0, the
+.Fn log1p
+family returns
+.Dv -HUGE_VAL ,
+.Dv -HUGE_VALF ,
+or
+.Dv -HUGE_VALL .
+.El
+.Pp
+In addition, on a
+.Tn VAX ,
+.Va errno
+is set to
+.Er EDOM
+and the reserved operand is returned
+by
+.Fn log
+unless
+.Fa x
+> 0, by
+.Fn log1p
+unless
+.Fa x
+> \-1.
