NAME
tgamma, tgammaf, tgammal - compute gamma function SYNOPSIS
c99 [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ] #include <math.h> double tgamma(double x); float tgammaf(float x); long double tgammal(long double x); DESCRIPTION
These functions compute the gamma() function of x. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, these functions return gamma(x). If x is a negative integer, a domain error occurs and a NaN is returned. If the correct value would cause overflow, a range error occurs and tgamma(), tgammaf(), and tgammal() return the value of the macro +-HUGE_VAL, +-HUGE_VALF, or +-HUGE_VALL, respectively. If x is NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is +-Inf, x is returned. If x is +-0, a pole error occurs and tgamma(), tgammaf(), and tgammal() return +-HUGE_VAL, +-HUGE_VALF, and +-HUGE_VALL, respectively. If x is +Inf, a domain error occurs and a NaN is returned. ERRORS
These functions will fail if: Domain Error The value of x is a negative integer or x is -Inf. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the invalid floating-point exception is raised. Pole Error The value of x is zero. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the divide-by-zero floating-point exception is raised. Range Error The value overflows. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the overflow floating-point exception is raised. USAGE
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. An application should either examine the return value or check the floating point exception flags to detect exceptions. ATTRIBUTES
