NAME
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. ATTRIBUTES

NAME
erf, erff, erfl - error function SYNOPSIS
c99 [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ] #include <math.h> double erf(double x); float erff(float x); long double erfl(long double x); DESCRIPTION
These functions compute the error function of their argument x, defined as: 2/sqrt(pi)*intregral from 0 to x of exp(-t*t) dt RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, these functions return the value of the error function. If x is NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is +-0, +-0 is returned. If x is +-Inf, +-1 is returned. If x is subnormal, 2/sqrt(pi) * 2 is returned. ATTRIBUTES
