.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 );
.br
.BI "float complex clogf(float complex " z );
.br
.BI "long double complex clogl(long double complex " z );
.sp
Link with \fI-lm\fP.
.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
.I y
is chosen in the interval [\-pi,pi].
.LP
One has clog(z) = log(cabs(z)) + I * carg(z).
.LP
Note that
.I z
close to zero will cause an overflow.
