75.Sh DESCRIPTION
76The functions
77.Fn j0 ,
78.Fn j0f ,
79.Fn j1 ,
80and
81.Fn j1f
82compute the Bessel function of the first kind of orders
830 and 1 for the real value
84.Fa x ;
85the functions
86.Fn jn
87and
88.Fn jnf
89compute the Bessel function of the first kind of the integer order
90.Fa n
91for the real value
92.Fa x .

94The functions
95.Fn y0 ,
96.Fn y0f ,
97.Fn y1 ,
98and
99.Fn y1f
100compute the linearly independent Bessel function of the second kind
101of orders 0 and 1 for the positive
102.Em real
103value
104.Fa x ;
105the functions
106.Fn yn
107and
108.Fn ynf
109compute the Bessel function of the second kind for the integer order
110.Fa n
111for the positive
112.Em real
113value
114.Fa x .
115.Sh RETURN VALUES
116These routines return values of their respective Bessel functions.
117For large positive inputs, they may underflow and return \*(Pm0.
118.Pp
119The following applies to
120.Fn y0 ,
121.Fn y0f ,
122.Fn y1 ,
123.Fn y1f ,
124.Fn yn ,
125and
126.Fn ynf .
127If
128.Fa x
129is negative, including -\*(If, these routines will generate an invalid
130exception and return \*(Na.
131If
132.Fa x
133is \*(Pm0, these routines
134will generate a divide-by-zero exception and return -\*(If.
135If
136.Fa x
137is a sufficiently small positive number, then
138.Fn y1 ,
139.Fn y1f ,
140.Fn yn ,
141and
142.Fn ynf
143will generate an overflow exception and return -\*(If.
