NAME
erf, erff, erfl, erfc, erfcf, erfcl – error function operators
LIBRARY
Math Library (libm, -lm)
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
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);
DESCRIPTION
These functions calculate the error function of x.
The erf(), erff(), and erfl() functions calculate the error function of x; where
erf(x) = 2/sqrt(pi)∗integral from 0 to x of exp(-t∗t) dt.
The erfc(), erfcf(), and erfcl() functions calculate the complementary error function of x; that is erfc() subtracts the result of the error function erf(x) from 1.0.

STANDARDS
The erf(), erff(), erfl(), erfc(), erfcf() and erfcl() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (“ISO C99”).
HISTORY
The erf() and erfc() functions appeared in 4.3BSD.
