From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6 Description of problem: The man page of log2 says: "The log2() function returns the natural logarithm of x." This is obviously wrong: the log2 function returns the 2-logarithm of x, not the e-logarithm. Also, I wonder (but don't know) whether the CONFORMING TO section is correct. log2 seems to only be available when compiling in C99 mode, so I wonder if it was already available in the other Unix versions mentioned. (log2 is vertainly not available when compiling without -std=XXX option, even when math.h is included.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man-pages-1.67-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. man log2 2. 3. Actual Results: "The log2() function returns the natural logarithm of x." Expected Results: "The log2() function returns the base-2 logarithm of x." Additional info:
The bit about the CONFORMING TO section also holds for exp2.
This bug is fixed in the last version of man-pages (man-pages-2.05-1).
