SYNOPSIS

   HP Integrity Server Only
DESCRIPTION

       and return , where is defined as the integral, as t goes from zero to infinity, of times t to the power (x-1).

       The sign of is returned in the external integer

       The function, available on Integrity servers, can be used to calculate Or, the following C program fragment can be used to calculate

       where if y is greater than as defined in the header file, returns a range error.  (See exp(3M).)

       The log gamma function is not reentrant because it uses the global variable The function is a reentrant version of  that  can  be  used	in
       multi-threaded  applications.   The function stores the sign of in the object pointed to by the second argument sign.  The value pointed to
       by sign is +1 if is positive, -1 if it is negative.

       The and functions are functionally equivalent to and

       and are versions of and respectively; they take a (first) argument and return a result.

USAGE

       To use these functions, compile either with the default option or with the and options.

       Make sure your program includes and link in the math library by specifying on the compiler or linker command line.
