73.Sh DESCRIPTION
74The functions
75.Fn j0 ,
76.Fn j0f ,
77.Fn j1 ,
78and
79.Fn j1f
80compute the Bessel function of the first kind of orders
810 and 1 for the real value
82.Fa x ;
83the functions
84.Fn jn
85and
86.Fn jnf
87compute the Bessel function of the first kind of the integer order
88.Fa n
89for the real value
90.Fa x .

92The functions
93.Fn y0 ,
94.Fn y0f ,
95.Fn y1 ,
96and
97.Fn y1f
98compute the linearly independent Bessel function of the second kind
99of orders 0 and 1 for the positive
100.Em real
101value
102.Fa x ;
103the functions
104.Fn yn
105and
106.Fn ynf
107compute the Bessel function of the second kind for the integer order
108.Fa n
109for the positive
110.Em real
111value
112.Fa x .
113.Sh RETURN VALUES
114These routines return values of their respective Bessel functions.
115For large positive inputs, they may underflow and return \*(Pm0.
116.Pp
117The following applies to
118.Fn y0 ,
119.Fn y0f ,
120.Fn y1 ,
121.Fn y1f ,
122.Fn yn ,
123and
124.Fn ynf .
125If
126.Fa x
127is negative, including -\*(If, these routines will generate an invalid
128exception and return \*(Na.
129If
130.Fa x
131is \*(Pm0, these routines
132will generate a divide-by-zero exception and return -\*(If.
133If
134.Fa x
135is a sufficiently small positive number, then
136.Fn y1 ,
137.Fn y1f ,
138.Fn yn ,
139and
140.Fn ynf
141will generate an overflow exception and return -\*(If.
