j0(3M)
NAME
j0, j1, jn − Bessel functions of the first kind
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... −lm [ library ... ]
#include <math.h>
double j0(double x);
double j1(double x);
double jn(int n, double x);
DESCRIPTION
The j0(), j1() and jn() functions compute Bessel functions of x of the first kind of orders 0, 1 and n respectively.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, j0(), j1() and jn() return the relevant Bessel value of x of the first kind.
If the x argument is too large in magnitude, 0 is returned and errno may be set to ERANGE.
If x is NaN, NaN is returned.
For exceptional cases, matherr(3M) tabulates the values to be returned as dictated by Standards other than XPG4.
ERRORS
The j0(), j1() and jn() functions may fail if:
ERANGE The value of x was too large in magnitude.
USAGE
An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to 0 before calling j0(), j1() or jn(). If errno is non-zero on return, or the return value is NaN, an error has occurred.
