80.Sh DESCRIPTION
81The functions
82.Fn j0 ,
83.Fn j0f ,
84.Fn j1
85and
86.Fn j1f
87compute the
88.Em Bessel function of the first kind of the order
890 and the
90.Em order
911, respectively,
92for the
93real value
94.Fa x ;
95the functions
96.Fn jn
97and
98.Fn jnf
99compute the
100.Em Bessel function of the first kind of the integer
101.Em order
102.Fa n
103for the real value
104.Fa x .
105.Pp
106The functions
107.Fn y0 ,
108.Fn y0f ,
109.Fn y1 ,
110and
111.Fn y1f
112compute the linearly independent
113.Em Bessel function of the second kind of the order
1140 and the
115.Em order
1161, respectively,
117for the
118positive
119.Em real
120value
121.Fa x ;
122the functions
123.Fn yn
124and
125.Fn ynf
126compute the
127.Em Bessel function of the second kind for the integer
128.Em order
129.Fa n
130for the positive
131.Em real
132value
133.Fa x .
134.Sh RETURN VALUES
135If these functions are successful,
136the computed value is returned.
137On the
138.Tn VAX
139and
140.Tn Tahoe
141architectures,
142for the Bessel functions of the second kind,
143a negative
144or zero
145.Fa x
146value
147results in an error; the global
148variable
149.Va errno
150is set to
151.Er EDOM
152and a reserve operand fault is generated.
