GAMMA(3) libc math functions GAMMA(3)NAME
gamma - logarithm of the gamma function
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double gamma (double x);
float gammaf (float x);
long double gammal (long double x);
DESCRIPTION
The gamma() functions exist for compatibility reasons. They are equivalent to lgamma() etc. Use these. Use of the name gamma() is confus-
ing, since these functions do not compute the Gamma function, but the natural logarithm of the Gamma function.
CONFORMING TO
Nonstandard. Compatible with previous mistakes.

GAMMA(3) Linux Programmer's Manual GAMMA(3)NAME
gamma, gammaf, gammal - (logarithm of the) gamma function
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double gamma(double x);
float gammaf(float x);
long double gammal(long double x);
Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
gamma():
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE
gammaf(), gammal():
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600
DESCRIPTION
These functions are deprecated: instead, use either the tgamma(3) or the lgamma(3) functions, as appropriate.
For the definition of the Gamma function, see tgamma(3).
*BSD version
The libm in 4.4BSD and some versions of FreeBSD had a gamma() function that computes the Gamma function, as one would expect.
glibc version
Glibc has a gamma() function that is equivalent to lgamma(3) and computes the natural logarithm of the Gamma function.
RETURN VALUE
See lgamma(3).
ERRORS
See lgamma(3).
CONFORMING TO
Because of historical variations in behavior across systems, this function is not specified in any standard.
NOTES
History
4.2BSD had a gamma() that computed ln(|Gamma(|x|)|), leaving the sign of Gamma(|x|) in the external integer signgam. In 4.3BSD the name
was changed to lgamma(3), and the man page promises
"At some time in the future the name gamma will be rehabilitated and used for the Gamma function"
This did indeed happen in 4.4BSD, where gamma() computes the Gamma function (with no effect on signgam). However, this came too late, and
we now have tgamma(3), the "true gamma" function.

Hi,
What is installation package and how to create it?
When we run:
in AIX:
installp package1
or
in Linux
rpm -ivh mypackage
What is package1 or mypackage in the abov examples and how to create them and deploy them?
I hope my question is clear enough.
Thank you (2 Replies)
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.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it

After the success of the jq - tool for parsing and manipulating JSON-Data someone wrote a tool called yq, which aims to be the same for YAML, what jq is for JSON. Seems to work fine. I'll definitely give it a chance in future.
