NAME

DESCRIPTION
log1p(x)
returns a value equivalent to
log (1 + x )
It is computed in a way
that is accurate even if the value of x is near zero.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the natural logarithm of
(1 + x) .
If
x
is a NaN,
a NaN is returned.
If
x
is positive infinity, positive infinity is returned.
If
x
is -1, a pole error occurs,
and the functions return
-HUGE_VAL ,
-HUGE_VALF ,
or
-HUGE_VALL ,
respectively.
If
x
is less than -1 (including negative infinity),
a domain error occurs,
and a NaN (not a number) is returned.
ERRORS
See
math_error
The following errors can occur:
Domain error: x is less than -1
An invalid floating-point exception
(FE_INVALID )
is raised.
Pole error: x is -1
A divide-by-zero floating-point exception
(FE_DIVBYZERO )
is raised.
These functions do not set
errno .
