NAME
       erf,  erff, erfl, erfc, erfcf, erfcl - error function and complementary
       error function

SYNOPSIS
       #include 

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

       double erfc(double x);
       float erfcf(float x);
       long double erfcl(long double x);

       Link with -lm.

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       All functions shown above: _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE
       || _ISOC99_SOURCE; or cc -std=c99

DESCRIPTION
       The erf() function returns the error function of x; defined as

	   erf(x) = 2/sqrt(pi)* integral from 0 to x of exp(-t*t) dt

       The erfc() function returns the complementary error function of x, that
       is 1.0 - erf(x).

CONFORMING TO
       SVr4, 4.3BSD, C99.  The float and long double variants are requirements
       of C99.
