+.TH CLOG 3 2002-07-28 "" "complex math routines"
+.SH NAME
+clog, clogf, clogl \- natural logarithm of a complex number
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B #include <complex.h>
+.sp
+.BI "double complex clog(double complex " z );
+.sp
+.BI "float complex clogf(float complex " z );
+.sp
+.BI "long double complex clogl(long double complex " z );
+.sp
+Link with \-lm.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The logarithm clog is the inverse function of the exponential cexp.
+Thus, if y = clog(z), then z = cexp(y).
+The imaginary part of y is chosen in the interval [-pi,pi].
+.LP
+One has clog(z) = log(cabs(z))+I*carg(z).
+.LP
+Please note that z close to zero will cause an overflow.
