+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions are deprecated: instead, use either the
+.BR tgamma (3)
+or the
+.BR lgamma (3)
+functions, as appropriate.
+.P
+For the definition of the Gamma function, see
+.BR tgamma (3).
+.SS *BSD version
+The libm in 4.4BSD and some versions of FreeBSD had a
+.BR gamma ()
+function that computes the Gamma function, as one would expect.
+.SS glibc version
+glibc has a
+.BR gamma ()
+function that is equivalent to
+.BR lgamma (3)
+and computes the natural logarithm of the Gamma function.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+See
+.BR lgamma (3).
+.SH ERRORS
+See
+.BR lgamma (3).
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
+For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see

+.SH HISTORY
+SVID 2.
+.P
+Because of historical variations in behavior across systems,
+this function is not specified in any recent standard.
+.P
+4.2BSD had a
+.BR gamma ()
+that computed
+.RI ln(|Gamma(| x |)|),
+leaving the sign of
+.RI Gamma(| x |)
+in the external integer
+.IR signgam .
+In 4.3BSD the name was changed to
+.BR lgamma (3),
+and the man page promises
+.P
+.in +4n
+"At some time in the future the name gamma will be rehabilitated
+and used for the Gamma function"
+.in
+.P
+This did indeed happen in 4.4BSD, where
+.BR gamma ()
+computes the Gamma function (with no effect on
+.IR signgam ).
+However, this came too late, and we now have
+.BR tgamma (3),
+the "true gamma" function.
+.\" The FreeBSD man page says about gamma() that it is like lgamma()
+.\" except that is does not set signgam.
+.\" Also, that 4.4BSD has a gamma() that computes the true gamma function.
