       y0, y0f, y0l, y1, y1f, y1l, yn, ynf, ynl - Bessel functions of the
       second kind
       Math library (libm, -lm)

       The y0() and y1() functions return Bessel functions of x of the
       second kind of orders 0 and 1, respectively.  The yn() function
       returns the Bessel function of x of the second kind of order n.
       The value of x must be positive.
       The y0f(), y1f(), and ynf() functions are versions that take and
       return float values.  The y0l(), y1l(), and ynl() functions are
       versions that take and return long double values.
       On success, these functions return the appropriate Bessel value of
       the second kind for x.
       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
       If x is negative, a domain error occurs, and the functions return
       -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, or -HUGE_VALL, respectively.  (POSIX.1-2001
       also allows a NaN return for this case.)
       If x is 0.0, a pole error occurs, and the functions return
       -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, or -HUGE_VALL, respectively.
       If the result underflows, a range error occurs, and the functions
       return 0.0
       If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions
       return -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, or -HUGE_VALL, respectively.
       (POSIX.1-2001 also allows a 0.0 return for this case.)
       See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an
       error has occurred when calling these functions.
       The following errors can occur:
       Domain error: x is negative
              errno is set to EDOM.  An invalid floating-point exception
              (FE_INVALID) is raised.
       Pole error: x is 0.0
              errno is set to ERANGE and an FE_DIVBYZERO exception is
              raised (but see BUGS).
       Range error: result underflow
              errno is set to ERANGE.  No FE_UNDERFLOW exception is
              returned by fetestexcept(3) for this case.
       Range error: result overflow
              errno is set to ERANGE (but see BUGS).  An overflow
              floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.

       Before glibc 2.19, these functions misdiagnosed pole errors: errno
       was set to EDOM, instead of ERANGE and no FE_DIVBYZERO exception
       was raised.
       Before glibc 2.17, did not set errno for "range error: result
       underflow".
       In glibc 2.3.2 and earlier, these functions do not raise an
       invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) when a domain error
       occurs.
