DESCRIPTION
The y0() and y1() functions return Bessel functions of x of the second kind of orders 0 and 1, respectively. The yn() function returns the Bessel function of x of the second kind of order n. The value of x must be positive. The y0f(), y1f(), and ynf() functions are versions that take and return float values. The y0l(), y1l(), and ynl() functions are versions that take and return long double values.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the appropriate Bessel value of the second kind for x. If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is negative, a domain error occurs, and the functions return -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, or -HUGE_VALL, respectively. (POSIX.1-2001 also allows a NaN return for this case.) If x is 0.0, a pole error occurs, and the functions return -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, or -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 -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, or -HUGE_VALL, respectively. (POSIX.1-2001 also allows a 0.0 return for this case.)
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:
Domain error: x is negative
errno is set to EDOM. An invalid floating-point exception
(FE_INVALID) is raised.
Pole error: x is 0.0
errno is set to ERANGE (but see BUGS). No FE_DIVBYZERO
exception is returned by fetestexcept(3) for this case.
Range error: result underflow
errno is set to ERANGE. No FE_UNDERFLOW exception is returned
by fetestexcept(3) for this case.
Range error: result overflow
errno is not set for this case. An overflow floating-point
exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.
ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7). ┌───────────────────┬───────────────┬─────────┐ │Interface │ Attribute │ Value │ ├───────────────────┼───────────────┼─────────┤ │y0(), y0f(), y0l() │ Thread safety │ MT-Safe │ ├───────────────────┼───────────────┼─────────┤ │y1(), y1f(), y1l() │ Thread safety │ MT-Safe │ ├───────────────────┼───────────────┼─────────┤ │yn(), ynf(), ynl() │ Thread safety │ MT-Safe │ └───────────────────┴───────────────┴─────────┘
CONFORMING TO
The functions returning double conform to SVr4, 4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008. The others are nonstandard functions that also exist on the BSDs.
BUGS
On a pole error, these functions set errno to EDOM, instead of ERANGE as POSIX.1-2004 requires. In glibc version 2.3.2 and earlier, these functions do not raise an invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) when a domain error occurs.

Opportunity
Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.
Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.
Free Software
Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.
Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.
Free Books
The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.
Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.
Education
Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.
Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
