ERF(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ERF(3)NAME
erf, erfc -- error function operators
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double
erf(double x);
long double
erfl(long double x);
float
erff(float x);
double
erfc(double x);
long double
erfcl(long double x);
float
erfcf(float x);
DESCRIPTION
These functions calculate the error function of x.
The erf() function calculates the error function of x; where
erf(x) = 2/sqrt(pi)*integral from 0 to x of exp(-t*t) dt.
The erfc() function calculates the complementary error function of x; that is erfc() computes the difference of the error function erf(x)
from 1.0. This is useful, since for large x use of erfc() avoids loss of precision due to cancellation.
SPECIAL VALUES
erf(+-0) returns +-0.
erf(+-infinity) returns +-1.
erfc(-infinity) returns 2.
erfc(+infinity) returns +0.
SEE ALSO math(3)STANDARDS
The erf() and erfc() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:2011.

erfc(3M) Mathematical Library Functions erfc(3M)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.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.
Here are some examples of what I've tried:

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.
Many tricky terminal escape codes are not catered for so I had to create workarounds.
One thing I searched for was this:

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).

This is purely a fun project to see if it is possible in PURE... (3 Replies)
