NAME

erfc, erfcf, erfcl − complementary error function

LIBRARY

Math library (libm, −lm)

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

These functions return the complementary error function of x, that is, 1.0 − erf(x).

RETURN VALUE

On success, these functions return the complementary error function of x, a value in the range [0,2].

If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.

If x is +0 or −0, 1 is returned.

If x is positive infinity, +0 is returned.

If x is negative infinity, +2 is returned.

If the function result underflows and produces an unrepresentable value, the return value is 0.0.

If the function result underflows but produces a representable (i.e., subnormal) value, that value is returned, and a range error occurs.

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 (result is subnormal)

An underflow floating-point exception (FE_UNDERFLOW) is raised.

These functions do not set errno.
