PROLOG

       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 Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       y0, y1, yn — Bessel functions of the second kind

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       double y0(double x);
       double y1(double x);
       double yn(int n, double x);

DESCRIPTION

       The y0(), y1(), and yn() functions shall compute Bessel functions of x of the second 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  second
       kind.

       If x is NaN, NaN shall be returned.

       If  the x argument to these functions is negative, −HUGE_VAL or NaN shall be returned, and a domain error
       may occur.

       If x is 0.0, −HUGE_VAL shall be returned and a pole error may occur.

       If the correct result would cause underflow, 0.0 shall be returned and a range error may occur.

       If the correct result would cause overflow, −HUGE_VAL or 0.0 shall be returned  and  a  range  error  may
       occur.

ERRORS

       These functions may fail if:

       Domain Error
                   The value of x is negative.

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

       Pole Error  The value of x is zero.

                   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 divide-by-zero floating-point exception shall be raised.

       Range Error The correct result would cause overflow.

                   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 overflow floating-point exception shall be raised.

       Range Error The value of x is too large in magnitude, or the correct result would cause underflow.

                   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.

       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.
