NAME
       clog, clogf - complex natural logarithm functions

SYNOPSIS
       #include <complex.h>

       double complex clog(double complex z);
       float complex clogf(float complex z);


DESCRIPTION
       These  functions  compute  the complex natural (base e) logarithm of z,
       with a branch cut along the negative real axis.

RETURN VALUE
       These functions return the complex  natural  logarithm  value,  in  the
       range  of  a  strip mathematically unbounded along the real axis and in
       the interval [-ipi, +ipi] along the imaginary axis.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.
