       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of
       this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux  manual  page  for  details  of

NAME

       j0, j1, jn — Bessel functions of the first kind

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       double j0(double x);
       double j1(double x);
       double jn(int n, double x);

DESCRIPTION

       The  j0(),  j1(), and jn() functions shall compute Bessel functions of x of the first kind
       of orders 0, 1, and n, respectively.

       An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno  to  zero  and  call
       feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)  before  calling these functions. On return, if errno is non-
       zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is  non-zero,
       an error has occurred.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the relevant Bessel value of x of
       the first kind.

       If the x argument is too large in magnitude, or the correct result would cause  underflow,
       0 shall be returned and a range error may occur.

       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

ERRORS

       These functions may fail if:

       Range Error The value of x was too large in magnitude, or an underflow occurred.

                   If  the  integer  expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then
                   errno shall be set to [ERANGE].  If the integer expression (math_errhandling &
                   MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the underflow floating-point exception shall
                   be raised.

       No other errors shall occur.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       On  error,  the  expressions  (math_errhandling  &  MATH_ERRNO)  and  (math_errhandling  &
       MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
