ERF(3)			     Library Functions Manual			  ERF(3)

NAME
     erf, erff, erfl, erfc, erfcf, erfcl -- error function operators

LIBRARY
     Math Library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <math.h>

     double
     erf(double x);

     float
     erff(float x);

     long double
     erfl(long double x);

     double
     erfc(double x);

     float
     erfcf(float x);

     long double
     erfcl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION
     These functions calculate the error function of x.

     The  erf(), erff(), and erfl() functions calculate the error function of x;
     where

	   erf(x) = 2/sqrt(pi)*integral from 0 to x of exp(-t*t) dt.

     The erfc(), erfcf(), and erfcl() functions calculate the complementary  er-
     ror  function  of x; that is erfc() subtracts the result of the error func-
     tion erf(x) from 1.0.

SEE ALSO
     math(3)

STANDARDS
     The erf(), erff(), erfl(), erfc(), erfcf() and erfcl() functions conform to
     ISO/IEC 9899:1999 ("ISO C99").

HISTORY
     The erf() and erfc() functions appeared in 4.3BSD.

FreeBSD 15.1			  June 23, 2024 			  ERF(3)
