.Sh DESCRIPTION
The functions
.Fn j0
and
.Fn j1
compute the
.Em Bessel function of the first kind of the order
0 and the
.Em order
1, respectively,
for the
real value
.Fa x ;
the function
.Fn jn
computes the
.Em Bessel function of the first kind of the integer order
.Fa n
for the real value
.Fa x .
The functions
.Fn j0f ,
.Fn j1f ,
and
.Fn jnf
are single precision versions of
.Fn j0 ,
.Fn j1 ,
and
.Fn jn ,
respectively.
.Pp
The functions
.Fn y0
and
.Fn y1
compute the linearly independent
.Em Bessel function of the second kind of the order
0 and the
.Em order
1, respectively,
for the
positive
.Em integer
value
.Fa x
(expressed as a double);
the function
.Fn yn
computes the
.Em Bessel function of the second kind for the integer order
.Fa n
for the positive
.Em integer
value
.Fa x
(expressed as a double).
The functions
.Fn y0f ,
.Fn y1f ,
and
.Fn ynf
are single precision versions of
.Fn y0 ,
.Fn y1 ,
and
.Fn yn ,
respectively.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
If these functions are successful,
the computed value is returned, otherwise the global variable
.Va errno
is set to EDOM or ERANGE.
.Sh HISTORY

.Fn j0 ,
.Fn j1 ,
.Fn jn ,
.Fn y0 ,
.Fn y1 ,
and
.Fn yn
first appeared in
