DESCRIPTION

41       The j0() and j1() functions return Bessel functions of x of  the  first
42       kind  of  orders  0 and 1, respectively.  The jn() function returns the
43       Bessel function of x of the first kind of order n.
44
45       The j0f(), j1f(), and jnf(), functions are versions that take  and  re‐
46       turn  float values.  The j0l(), j1l(), and jnl() functions are versions
47       that take and return long double values.
48

RETURN VALUE

50       On success, these functions return the appropriate Bessel value of  the
51       first kind for x.
52
53       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
54
55       If x is too large in magnitude, or the result underflows, a range error
56       occurs, and the return value is 0.
57

ERRORS

59       See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an  error
60       has occurred when calling these functions.
61
62       The following errors can occur:
63
64       Range error: result underflow, or x is too large in magnitude
65              errno is set to ERANGE.
66
67       These functions do not raise exceptions for fetestexcept(3).

BUGS

100       There are errors of up to 2e-16 in the values returned by  j0(),  j1(),
101       and jn() for values of x between -8 and 8.
