.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR j0 ()
and
.BR j1 ()
functions return Bessel functions of
.I x
of the first kind of orders 0 and 1, respectively.
The
.BR jn ()
function
returns the Bessel function of
.I x
of the first kind of order
.IR n .
.PP
The
.BR j0f (),
.BR j1f (),
and
.BR jnf (),
functions are versions that take and return
.I float
values.
The
.BR j0l (),
.BR j1l (),
and
.BR jnl ()
functions are versions that take and return
.I "long double"
values.
.SH RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the appropriate
Bessel value of the first kind for
.IR x .
.PP
If
.I x
is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
.PP
If
.I x
is too large in magnitude,
or the result underflows,
a range error occurs,
and the return value is 0.
.SH ERRORS
See
.BR math_error (7)
for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
when calling these functions.
.PP
The following errors can occur:
.TP
Range error: result underflow, or \fIx\fP is too large in magnitude
.I errno
is set to
.BR ERANGE .
.PP
These functions do not raise exceptions for
.BR fetestexcept (3).
.\" e.g., j0(1.5e16)
.\" This is intentional.
.\" See http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6805

.SH CONFORMING TO
The functions returning
.I double
conform to SVr4, 4.3BSD,
POSIX.1-2001, and POSIX.1-2008.
The others are nonstandard functions that also exist on the BSDs.
.SH BUGS
There are errors of up to 2e\-16 in the values returned by
.BR j0 (),
.BR j1 (),
and
.BR jn ()
for values of
.I x
between \-8 and 8.
