NAME
       j0, j1, jn - Bessel functions of the first kind

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       double j0(double x);
       double j1(double x);
       double jn(int n, double x);

DESCRIPTION
       The j0(), j1(), and jn() functions shall compute Bessel functions of x of the first kind of orders 0, 1, and n, respectively.

       An  application	wishing  to check for error situations should set errno to zero and call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these
       functions.  On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero,  an  error
       has occurred.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the relevant Bessel value of x of the first kind.

       If the x argument is too large in magnitude, or the correct result would cause underflow, 0 shall be returned and a range error may occur.

       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

ERRORS
       These functions may fail if:

       Range Error
	      The value of x was too large in magnitude, or an underflow occurred.

       If  the	integer  expression  (math_errhandling	&  MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the integer expression
       (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the underflow floating-point exception shall be raised.

       No other errors shall occur.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION USAGE
       On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of  each  other,  but	at
       least one of them must be non-zero.

RATIONALE
       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
