NAME

intro − introduction to library functions

DESCRIPTION

This section describes functions that may be found in various libraries.  The library functions are those other than the functions that directly invoke DEC OSF/1 system primitives, described in Section 2. 

The suffixes used on some reference pages are used only to allow reference pages with the same base name to exist on DEC OSF/1 systems. When used, suffixes are made up of one to four letters. See the man(1) reference page for more information on suffixes. 

ERRORS

Functions in the math library may return conventional values when the function is undefined for the given arguments or when the value is not representable.  In these cases the external variable errno is set to the value EDOM (domain error) or ERANGE (range error).  For further information, see intro(2).  The values of EDOM and ERANGE are defined in the include file <math.h>.
