NAME

       cerf, cerfc - complex error functions

SYNOPSIS

       #include <cerf.h>

       double _Complex cerf ( double _Complex z );

       double _Complex cerfc ( double _Complex z );

DESCRIPTION

       The function cerf is the complex version of the error function: erf(z) = 2/sqrt(pi) *
       integral from 0 to z of exp(-t*t) dt.

       The complementary complex error function cerfc is defined as erfc(z) = 1-cerf(z).
