.Sh DESCRIPTION
The functions
.Fn j0 ,
.Fn j0f ,
.Fn j1
and
.Fn j1f
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 functions
.Fn jn
and
.Fn jnf
compute the
.Em Bessel function of the first kind of the integer
.Em order
.Fa n
for the real value
.Fa x .
.Pp
The functions
.Fn y0 ,
.Fn y0f ,
.Fn y1 ,
and
.Fn y1f
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 real
value
.Fa x ;
the functions
.Fn yn
and
.Fn ynf
compute the
.Em Bessel function of the second kind for the integer
.Em order
.Fa n
for the positive
.Em real
value
.Fa x .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
These routines return values of their respective Bessel functions.
For large positive inputs, they may underflow and return \*(Pm0.
.Pp
The following applies to
.Fn y0 ,
.Fn y0f ,
.Fn y1 ,
.Fn y1f ,
.Fn yn ,
and
.Fn ynf .
If
.Fa x
is negative, these routines will generate an invalid exception and
return \*(Na.
If
.Fa x
is 0 or a sufficiently small positive number, these routines
will generate an overflow exception and return -\*(If.
