They0() andy1() functions return Bessel functions ofx of the second kind of orders 0 and 1, respectively. Theyn() function returns the Bessel function ofx of the second kind of ordern. The value ofx must be positive. They0f(),y1f(), andynf() functions are versions that take and returnfloat values. They0l(),y1l(), andynl() functions are versions that take and returnlong double values.
On success, these functions return the appropriate Bessel value of the second kind forx. Ifx is a NaN, a NaN is returned. Ifx 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.) Ifx 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.)
Seemath_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 negativeerrno is set toEDOM. An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised. Pole error:x is 0.0errno is set toERANGEand anFE_DIVBYZEROexception is raised (but see BUGS). Range error: result underflowerrno is set toERANGE. NoFE_UNDERFLOWexception is returned byfetestexcept(3) for this case. Range error: result overflowerrno is set toERANGE(but see BUGS). An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.

Before glibc 2.19, these functions misdiagnosed pole errors:errno was set toEDOM, instead ofERANGEand noFE_DIVBYZEROexception was raised. Before glibc 2.17, did not seterrno for "range error: result underflow". In glibc 2.3.2 and earlier, these functions do not raise an invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) when a domain error occurs.
