NAME
     cerf, cerfc - complex error functions

SYNOPSIS
     #include <cerf.h>

     double _Complex cerf ( double _Complex z );

     double _Complex cerfc ( double _Complex z );

DESCRIPTION
     The function cerf is the complex version of the error function: erf(z) =
     2/sqrt(pi) * integral from 0 to z of exp(-t*t) dt.

     The complementary complex error function cerfc is defined as erfc(z) =
     1-cerf(z).

SEE ALSO
     The computations are based on Faddeeva's function w_of_z(3).

     Other complex error functions in libcerf: w_of_z(3), dawson(3), voigt(3),
     erfcx(3), erfi(3).

     The real error function comes with recent versions of glibc, as requested
     by the C99 standard: erf(3)
