33.Sh DESCRIPTION
34The functions
35.Fn j0
36and
37.Fn j1
38compute the
39.Em Bessel function of the first kind of the order
400 and the
41.Em order
421, respectively,
43for the
44real value
45.Fa x ;
46the function
47.Fn jn
48computes the
49.Em Bessel function of the first kind of the integer order
50.Fa n
51for the real value
52.Fa x .
53.Pp
54The functions
55.Fn y0
56and
57.Fn y1
58compute the linearly independent
59.Em Bessel function of the second kind of the order
600 and the
61.Em order
621, respectively,
63for the
64postive
65.Em integer
66value
67.Fa x
68(expressed as a double);
69the function
70.Fn yn
71computes the
72.Em Bessel function of the second kind for the integer order
73.Fa n
74for the postive
75.Em integer
76value
77.Fa x
78(expressed as a double).
79.Sh RETURN VALUES
80If these functions are successful,
81the computed value is returned. On the
82.Tn VAX
83and
84.Tn Tahoe
85architectures,
86a negative
87.Fa x
88value
89results in an error; the global
90variable
91.Va errno
92is set to
93.Er EDOM
94and a reserve operand fault is generated.
