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.
