   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       y0(), y1(), yn():
	   _SVID_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE
       y0f(), y0l(), y1f(), y1l(), ynf(), ynl():
	   _SVID_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600

DESCRIPTION
       The y0() and y1() functions return Bessel functions of x of the second kind of orders 0 and 1, respectively.  The yn() function returns the
       Bessel function of x of the second kind of order n.

       The value of x must be positive.

       The y0f() etc. and y0l() etc. functions are versions that take and return float and long double values, respectively.

RETURN VALUE
       On success, these functions return the appropriate Bessel value of the second kind for x.

       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.

       If x is negative, a domain error occurs, and the functions return -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, or -HUGE_VALL, respectively.   (POSIX.1-2001  also
       allows a NaN return for this case.)

       If x is 0.0, a pole error occurs, and the functions return -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, or -HUGE_VALL, respectively.

       If the result underflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return 0.0

       If  the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, or -HUGE_VALL, respectively.  (POSIX.1-2001
       also allows a 0.0 return for this case.)

ERRORS
       See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.

       The following errors can occur:

       Domain error: x is negative
	      errno is set to EDOM.  An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.

       Pole error: x is 0.0
	      errno is set to ERANGE (but see BUGS).  No FE_DIVBYZERO exception is returned by fetestexcept(3) for this case.

       Range error: result underflow
	      errno is set to ERANGE.  No FE_UNDERFLOW exception is returned by fetestexcept(3) for this case.

       Range error: result overflow
	      errno is not set for this case.  An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.

CONFORMING TO
       The functions returning double conform to SVr4, 4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.  The others are nonstandard functions that also exist on the BSDs.

BUGS
       On a pole error, these functions set errno to EDOM, instead of ERANGE as POSIX.1-2004 requires.

       In glibc version 2.3.2 and earlier, these functions do not raise an invalid floating-point  exception  (FE_INVALID)  when  a  domain  error
       occurs.
