80.Sh DESCRIPTION
81The functions
82.Fn j0 ,
83.Fn j0f ,
84.Fn j1
85and
86.Fn j1f
87compute the
88.Em Bessel function of the first kind of the order
890 and the
90.Em order
911, respectively,
92for the
93real value
94.Fa x ;
95the functions
96.Fn jn
97and
98.Fn jnf
99compute the
100.Em Bessel function of the first kind of the integer order
101.Fa n
102for the real value
103.Fa x .
104.Pp
105The functions
106.Fn y0 ,
107.Fn y0f ,
108.Fn y1
109and
110.Fn y1f
111compute the linearly independent
112.Em Bessel function of the second kind of the order
1130 and the
114.Em order
1151, respectively,
116for the
117positive
118.Em integer
119value
120.Fa x
121(expressed as a double);
122the functions
123.Fn yn
124and
125.Fn ynf
126compute the
127.Em Bessel function of the second kind for the integer order
128.Fa n
129for the positive
130.Em integer
131value
132.Fa x
133(expressed as a double).
134.Sh RETURN VALUES
135If these functions are successful,
136the computed value is returned, otherwise
137the global
138variable
139.Va errno
140is set to
141.Er EDOM
142and a reserve operand fault is generated.
143.\" On the
144.\" .Tn VAX
145.\" and
146.\" .Tn Tahoe
147.\" architectures, a negative
148.\" .Fa x
149.\" value
150.\" results in an error.
