j0(3)                    Library Functions Manual                   j0(3)
       j0, j0f, j0l, j1, j1f, j1l, jn, jnf, jnl - Bessel functions of the
       first kind
       Math library (libm, -lm)
       #include <math.h>
       double j0(double x);
       double j1(double x);
       double jn(int n, double x);
       float j0f(float x);
       float j1f(float x);
       float jnf(int n, float x);
       long double j0l(long double x);
       long double j1l(long double x);

           _XOPEN_SOURCE
               || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE

           _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600

       The j0() and j1() functions return Bessel functions of x of the
       first kind of orders 0 and 1, respectively.  The jn() function
       returns the Bessel function of x of the first kind of order n.
       The j0f(), j1f(), and jnf(), functions are versions that take and
       return float values.  The j0l(), j1l(), and jnl() functions are
       versions that take and return long double values.
       On success, these functions return the appropriate Bessel value of
       the first kind for x.
       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
       If x is too large in magnitude, or the result underflows, a range
       error occurs, and the return value is 0.
       See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an
       error has occurred when calling these functions.
       The following errors can occur:
       Range error: result underflow, or x is too large in magnitude
              errno is set to ERANGE.
       These functions do not raise exceptions for fetestexcept(3).

       attributes(7).
