NAME

       vsinpi_, vsinpif_ - vector sinpi functions

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lmvec [ library... ]

       void vsinpi_(int *n, double * restrict x, int *stridex,
	    double * restrict y, int *stridey);

       void vsinpif_(int *n, float * restrict x, int *stridex,
	    float * restrict y, int *stridey);

DESCRIPTION

       These  functions  evaluate  the	function  sinpi(x),  defined by sinpi(x) =  sin(pi * x), for an entire vector of values at once. The first
       parameter specifies the number of values to compute. Subsequent parameters  specify  the  argument  and	result	vectors.  Each	vector	is
       described by a pointer to the first element and a stride, which is the increment between successive elements.

       Specifically, vsinpi_(n, x, sx, y, sy) computes y[i * *sy] = sinpi(x[i * *sx]) for each i = 0, 1, ..., *n - 1. The vsinpif_() function per-
       forms the same computation for single precision data.

       Non-exceptional results are accurate to within a unit in the last place.

USAGE

       The element count *n must be greater than zero. The strides for the argument and result arrays can be arbitrary integers,  but  the  arrays
       themselves  must  not be the same or overlap. A zero stride effectively collapses an entire vector into a single element. A negative stride
       causes a vector to be accessed in descending memory order, but note that the corresponding pointer must still point to the first element of
       the  vector  to	be used; if the stride is negative, this will be the highest-addressed element in memory. This convention differs from the
       Level 1 BLAS, in which array parameters always refer to the lowest-addressed element in memory even when negative increments are used.

       These functions assume that the default round-to-nearest rounding direction mode is in effect. On x86, these functions also assume that the
       default	round-to-64-bit  rounding precision mode is in effect. The result of calling a vector function with a non-default rounding mode in
       effect is undefined.

       These functions handle special cases and exceptions in the spirit of IEEE 754. In particular,

	   o	  sinpi(NaN) is NaN,

	   o	  sinpi(+-0) is +-0,

	   o	  sinpi(+-Inf) is NaN, and an invalid operation exception is raised.

       An application wanting to check for exceptions should call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before  calling	these  functions.  On  return,	if
       fetestexcept(FE_INVALID	|  FE_DIVBYZERO  | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an exception has been raised. The application can then
       examine the result or argument vectors for exceptional values. Some vector functions can raise the inexact exception even if  all  elements
       of the argument array are such that the numerical results are exact.
