59.Sh DESCRIPTION
60The functions
61.Fn j0
62and
63.Fn j1
64compute the
65.Em Bessel function of the first kind of the order
660 and the
67.Em order
681, respectively,
69for the
70real value
71.Fa x ;
72the function
73.Fn jn
74computes the
75.Em Bessel function of the first kind of the integer order
76.Fa n
77for the real value
78.Fa x .
79.Pp
80The functions
81.Fn y0
82and
83.Fn y1
84compute the linearly independent
85.Em Bessel function of the second kind of the order
860 and the
87.Em order
881, respectively,
89for the
90postive
91.Em integer
92value
93.Fa x
94(expressed as a double);
95the function
96.Fn yn
97computes the
98.Em Bessel function of the second kind for the integer order
99.Fa n
100for the postive
101.Em integer
102value
103.Fa x
104(expressed as a double).
105.Sh RETURN VALUES
106If these functions are successful,
107the computed value is returned. On the
108.Tn VAX
109and
110.Tn Tahoe
111architectures,
112a negative
113.Fa x
114value
115results in an error; the global
116variable
117.Va errno
118is set to
119.Er EDOM
120and a reserve operand fault is generated.
