.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 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 integer
value
.Fa x
(expressed as a double);
the functions
.Fn yn
and
.Fn ynf
compute the
.Em Bessel function of the second kind for the integer order
.Fa n
for the positive 
.Em integer
value
.Fa x
(expressed as a double).
.Sh RETURN VALUES
If these functions are successful,
the computed value is returned, otherwise
the global
variable
.Va errno
is set to
.Er EDOM
and a reserve operand fault is generated.
.\" On the
.\" .Tn VAX
.\" and
.\" .Tn Tahoe
.\" architectures, a negative
.\" .Fa x
.\" value
.\" results in an error.
