NAME
       gamma - logarithm of the gamma function

       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.
