DESCRIPTION

40       The y0() and y1() functions return Bessel functions of x of the  second
41       kind  of  orders  0 and 1, respectively.  The yn() function returns the
42       Bessel function of x of the second kind of order n.
43
44       The value of x must be positive.
45
46       The y0f(), y1f(), and ynf() functions are versions that take and return
47       float  values.  The y0l(), y1l(), and ynl() functions are versions that
48       take and return long double values.
49

RETURN VALUE

51       On success, these functions return the appropriate Bessel value of  the
52       second kind for x.
53
54       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
55
56       If  x  is  negative,  a  domain  error occurs, and the functions return
57       -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, or -HUGE_VALL, respectively.  (POSIX.1-2001 also
58       allows a NaN return for this case.)
59
60       If  x  is 0.0, a pole error occurs, and the functions return -HUGE_VAL,
61       -HUGE_VALF, or -HUGE_VALL, respectively.
62
63       If the result underflows, a range error occurs, and the  functions  re‐
64       turn 0.0
65
66       If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return
67       -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, or -HUGE_VALL, respectively.  (POSIX.1-2001 also
68       allows a 0.0 return for this case.)

ERRORS

71       See  math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error
72       has occurred when calling these functions.
73
74       The following errors can occur:
75
76       Domain error: x is negative
77              errno is set  to  EDOM.   An  invalid  floating-point  exception
78              (FE_INVALID) is raised.
79
80       Pole error: x is 0.0
81              errno  is  set to ERANGE and an FE_DIVBYZERO exception is raised
82              (but see BUGS).
83
84       Range error: result underflow
85              errno is set to ERANGE.  No FE_UNDERFLOW exception  is  returned
86              by fetestexcept(3) for this case.
87
88       Range error: result overflow
89              errno  is  set  to ERANGE (but see BUGS).  An overflow floating-
90              point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.

CONFORMING TO

107       The  functions  returning double conform to SVr4, 4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001,
108       POSIX.1-2008.  The others are nonstandard functions that also exist  on
109       the BSDs.
110

BUGS

112       Before  glibc 2.19, these functions misdiagnosed pole errors: errno was
113       set to EDOM, instead  of  ERANGE  and  no  FE_DIVBYZERO  exception  was
114       raised.
115
116       Before  glibc  2.17,  did not set errno for "range error: result under‐
117       flow".
118
119       In glibc version 2.3.2 and earlier, these functions do not raise an in‐
120       valid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) when a domain error occurs.
