double erf(double x);
float erff(float x);
long double erfl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION
These functions return the error function of x, defined as
erf(x) = 2/sqrt(pi)* integral from 0 to x of exp(-t*t) dt
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the error function of x, a value in the range [-1, 1]. If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned. If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), +1 (-1) is returned. If x is subnormal, a range error occurs, and the return value is 2*x/sqrt(pi).
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 (x is subnormal)
An underflow floating-point exception (FE_UNDERFLOW) is raised.
These functions do not set errno.
