.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The
.BR y0 ()
and
.BR y1 ()
functions return Bessel functions of
.I x
of the second kind of orders 0 and 1, respectively.
The
.BR yn ()
function
returns the Bessel function of
.I x
of the second kind of order
.IR n .
.PP
The value of
.I x
must be positive.
.PP
The
.BR y0f (),
.BR y1f (),
and
.BR ynf ()
functions are versions that take and return
.I float
values.
The
.BR y0l (),
.BR y1l (),
and
.BR ynl ()
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 second kind for
.IR x .

If
.I x
is a NaN, a NaN is returned.

If
.I x
is negative,
a domain error occurs,
and the functions return
.RB - HUGE_VAL ,
.RB - HUGE_VALF ,
or
.RB - HUGE_VALL ,
respectively.
(POSIX.1-2001 also allows a NaN return for this case.)

If
.I x
is 0.0,
a pole error occurs,
and the functions return
.RB - HUGE_VAL ,
.RB - HUGE_VALF ,
or
.RB - HUGE_VALL ,
respectively.

If the result underflows,
a range error occurs,
and the functions return 0.0

If the result overflows,
a range error occurs,
and the functions return
.RB - HUGE_VAL ,
.RB - HUGE_VALF ,
or
.RB - HUGE_VALL ,
respectively.
(POSIX.1-2001 also allows a 0.0 return for this case.)
.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
Domain error: \fIx\fP is negative
.I errno
is set to
.BR EDOM .
An invalid floating-point exception
.RB ( FE_INVALID )
is raised.
.TP
Pole error: \fIx\fP is 0.0
.\" Before POSIX.1-2001 TC2, this was (inconsistently) specified
.\" as a range error.
.I errno
is set to
.\" FIXME . y0(0.0) gives EDOM
.BR ERANGE
(but see BUGS).
No
.B FE_DIVBYZERO
exception is returned by
.BR fetestexcept (3)
for this case.
.\" Bug raised: http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6808
.TP
Range error: result underflow
.\" e.g., y0(1e33) on glibc 2.8/x86-32
.I errno
is set to
.BR ERANGE .
.\" An underflow floating-point exception
.\" .RB ( FE_UNDERFLOW )
.\" is raised.
.\" FIXME . Is it intentional that these functions do not use FE_*?
.\" Bug raised: http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6806
No
.B FE_UNDERFLOW
exception is returned by
.BR fetestexcept (3)
for this case.
.TP
Range error: result overflow
.\" e.g., yn(10, 1e-40) on glibc 2.8/x86-32
.\" .I errno
.\" is set to
.\" .BR ERANGE .
.I errno
is not set for this case.
.\" FIXME . Is it intentional that errno is not set?
.\" Bug raised: http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6808
An overflow floating-point exception
.RB ( FE_OVERFLOW )
is raised.

.SH CONFORMING TO
The functions returning
.I double
conform to SVr4, 4.3BSD,
POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
The others are nonstandard functions that also exist on the BSDs.
.SH BUGS
On a pole error, these functions set
.I errno
to
.BR EDOM ,
instead of
.BR ERANGE
as POSIX.1-2004 requires.
.\" FIXME .
.\" Bug raised: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6807

In glibc version 2.3.2 and earlier,
.\" FIXME . Actually, 2.3.2 is the earliest test result I have; so yet
.\" to confirm if this error occurs only in 2.3.2.
these functions do not raise an invalid floating-point exception
.RB ( FE_INVALID )
when a domain error occurs.
