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.
