DESCRIPTION
       The j0() and j1() functions return Bessel functions of x of  the  first
       kind  of  orders  0 and 1, respectively.  The jn() function returns the
       Bessel function of x of the first kind of order n.

       The j0f(), j1f(), and jnf(), functions are versions that take  and  re-
       turn  float values.  The j0l(), j1l(), and jnl() functions are versions
       that take and return long double values.

RETURN VALUE
       On success, these functions return the appropriate Bessel value of  the
       first kind for x.

       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.

       If x is too large in magnitude, or the result underflows, a range error
       occurs, and the return value is 0.

ERRORS
       See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an  error
       has occurred when calling these functions.

       The following errors can occur:

       Range error: result underflow, or x is too large in magnitude
              errno is set to ERANGE.

       These functions do not raise exceptions for fetestexcept(3).

ATTRIBUTES
       For  an  explanation  of  the  terms  used  in  this  section,  see at-
       tributes(7).

CONFORMING TO
       The functions returning double conform to SVr4,  4.3BSD,  POSIX.1-2001,
       and POSIX.1-2008.  The others are nonstandard functions that also exist
       on the BSDs.

BUGS
       There are errors of up to 2e-16 in the values returned  by  j0(),  j1()
       and jn() for values of x between -8 and 8.
