The .BR yn () function returns the Bessel function of .I x of the second kind of order .IR n . .P The value of .I x must be positive. .P The .BR y0f (), .BR y1f (), and .BR ynf () functions are versions that take and return .I float values. The .BR y0l (), .BR y1l (), and .BR ynl () functions are versions that take and return .I "long double" values. .SH RETURN VALUE On success, these functions return the appropriate Bessel value of the second kind for .IR x . .P If .I x is a NaN, a NaN is returned. .P If .I x is negative, a domain error occurs, and the functions return .RB \- HUGE_VAL , .RB \- HUGE_VALF , or .RB \- HUGE_VALL , respectively. (POSIX.1-2001 also allows a NaN return for this case.) .P If .I x is 0.0, a pole error occurs, and the functions return .RB \- HUGE_VAL , .RB \- HUGE_VALF , or .RB \- HUGE_VALL , respectively. .P If the result underflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return 0.0 .P If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return .RB \- HUGE_VAL , .RB \- HUGE_VALF , or .RB \- HUGE_VALL , respectively. (POSIX.1-2001 also allows a 0.0 return for this case.) .SH ERRORS See .BR math_error (7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions. .P The following errors can occur: .TP Domain error: \fIx\fP is negative .I errno is set to .BR EDOM . An invalid floating-point exception .RB ( FE_INVALID ) is raised. .TP Pole error: \fIx\fP is 0.0 .\" Before POSIX.1-2001 TC2, this was (inconsistently) specified .\" as a range error. .I errno is set to .B ERANGE and an .B FE_DIVBYZERO exception is raised (but see BUGS). .TP Range error: result underflow .\" e.g., y0(1e33) on glibc 2.8/x86-32 .I errno is set to .BR ERANGE . No .B FE_UNDERFLOW exception is returned by .\" This is intended behavior .\" See https://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6806 .BR fetestexcept (3) for this case. .TP Range error: result overflow .\" e.g., yn(10, 1e-40) on glibc 2.8/x86-32 .I errno is set to .B ERANGE (but see BUGS). An overflow floating-point exception .RB ( FE_OVERFLOW ) is raised. .SH ATTRIBUTES For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see .BR attributes (7). .TS allbox; lbx lb lb l l l.
