.SH NAME
clog, clogf, clogl \- natural logarithm of a complex number
.SH LIBRARY
Math library
.RI ( libm ", " \-lm )
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <complex.h>
.PP
.BI "double complex clog(double complex " z );
.BI "float complex clogf(float complex " z );
.BI "long double complex clogl(long double complex " z );

.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions calculate the complex natural logarithm of
.IR z ,
with a branch cut along the negative real axis.
.PP
The logarithm
.BR clog ()
is the inverse function of the exponential
.BR cexp (3).
Thus, if \fIy\ =\ clog(z)\fP, then \fIz\ =\ cexp(y)\fP.
The imaginary part of
.I y
is chosen in the interval [\-pi,pi].
.PP
One has:
.PP
.in +4n
.EX
clog(z) = log(cabs(z)) + I * carg(z)
.EE
.in
.PP
Note that
.I z
close to zero will cause an overflow.
