76.Sh DESCRIPTION
77The functions
78.Fn j0 ,
79.Fn j0f ,
80.Fn j1 ,
81and
82.Fn j1f
83compute the Bessel function of the first kind of orders
840 and 1 for the real value
85.Fa x ;
86the functions
87.Fn jn
88and
89.Fn jnf
90compute the Bessel function of the first kind of the integer order
91.Fa n
92for the real value
93.Fa x .

95The functions
96.Fn y0 ,
97.Fn y0f ,
98.Fn y1 ,
99and
100.Fn y1f
101compute the linearly independent Bessel function of the second kind
102of orders 0 and 1 for the positive
103.Em real
104value
105.Fa x ;
106the functions
107.Fn yn
108and
109.Fn ynf
110compute the Bessel function of the second kind for the integer order
111.Fa n
112for the positive
113.Em real
114value
115.Fa x .
116.Sh RETURN VALUES
117These routines return values of their respective Bessel functions.
118For large positive inputs, they may underflow and return \*(Pm0.
119.Pp
120The following applies to
121.Fn y0 ,
122.Fn y0f ,
123.Fn y1 ,
124.Fn y1f ,
125.Fn yn ,
126and
127.Fn ynf .
128If
129.Fa x
130is negative, including -\*(If, these routines will generate an invalid
131exception and return \*(Na.
132If
133.Fa x
134is \*(Pm0, these routines
135will generate a divide-by-zero exception and return -\*(If.
136If
137.Fa x
138is a sufficiently small positive number, then
139.Fn y1 ,
140.Fn y1f ,
141.Fn yn ,
142and
143.Fn ynf
144will generate an overflow exception and return -\*(If.
