ERF(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ERF(3)NAME
erf, erff, erfc, erfcf -- error function operators
LIBRARY
Math Library (libm, -lm)
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double
erf(double x);
float
erff(float x);
double
erfc(double x);
float
erfcf(float x);
DESCRIPTION
These functions calculate the error function of x.
The erf() calculates the error function of x; where
erf(x) = 2/sqrt(pi)*integral from 0 to x of exp(-t*t) dt.
The erfc() function calculates the complementary error function of x; that is erfc() subtracts the result of the error function erf(x) from
1.0. This is useful, since for large x places disappear.
SEE ALSO math(3)HISTORY
The erf() and erfc() functions appeared in 4.3BSD.

erfc, erfcf, erfcl - complementary error function
SYNOPSIS
c99 [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
#include <math.h>
double erfc(double x);
float erfcf(float x);
long double erfcl(long double x);
DESCRIPTION
These function compute the complementary error function 1.0 - erf(x).
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, these functions return the value of the complementary error function.
If x is NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is +-0, +1 is returned.
If x is -Inf, +2 is returned.
If x is +Inf, 0 is returned.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
USAGE
The erfc() function is provided because of the extreme loss of relative accuracy if erf(x) is called for large x and the result subtracted
from 1.0.

Introduction
I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:
$ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/cat
drwxrwxr-x 3 root bin 8704 Sep 23 2004 /usr/bin
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin ... (6 Replies)
I have a file which looks roughly like this:
996 mmmmmmm
996 xxxxxxxxxxxxx
99600 ssssssssss
9964 fffffffffffff
and would like to sort it numerically on the first field. I tried:
sort -nr --key=1 ....
The output I get is:
99600 ssssssssss

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I'm trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.
I've got the Oracle installation guide for it and I got as far as:

I don't have a CD-ROM by that name and a web search for that... (21 Replies)
Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.
I'm using "ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName" and I was wondering if it was better/more reliable to just check the
return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am learning shell scripting for the first time. I use AT&T Korn Shell, Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01, compiled from source on NetBSD.
So far I have managed to set up what I think is a useful and pleasing shell prompt, which can be seen in the image attached to this post.
The prompt is... (2 Replies)
Hey gang, I have a list of times I need to sum up. This list can vary from a few to a few thousand entries. Now I had found a closed reference to adding time titled "add up time with xx:yy format in bash how?" In it, the example works great for that formatted list of times... This is the reply code...

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
But what a book. The one I found and ordered is BSD Unix®... (0 Replies)
