functional equations - Are there any real-valued functions, besides logarithms, for which $f(x*y) = f(x) + f(y)$?

Is there any real-valued function, $f$, which is not a logarithm, such that $∀ x,y$ in $ℝ$ , $f(x*y) = f(x) + f(y)$?



So far, all I can think of is $z$ where $z(x) = 0$ $∀ x$ in $ℝ$




EDIT:



Functions having a domain of $ℝ^+$ or a domain of $ℝ$/{0} are acceptable as well.



What are examples of functions, $f$, from $ℝ$/{0} to $ℝ$ which are not logarithms, such that
$∀ x,y$ in $ℝ$, $f(x*y) = f(x) + f(y)$?
