|
|
.Fn lgamma x ,
|

.Fn lgammaf x ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn lgammal x
|
|
.if t \{\
|
|
return ln\||\(*G(x)| where
|
|
.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
|
|
\(*G(x) = \(is\d\s8\z0\s10\u\u\s8\(if\s10\d t\u\s8x\-1\s10\d e\u\s8\-t\s10\d dt for x > 0 and

.Ed
|
|
.\}
|
|
.if n \
|
|
return ln\||\(*G(x)|.
|
|
The external integer
|
|
.Fa signgam
|
|
returns the sign of \(*G(x).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn lgamma_r x signgamp ,
|
|
.Fn lgammaf_r x signgamp ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn lgammal_r x signgamp
|
|
provide the same functionality as
|
|
.Fn lgamma x ,
|
|
.Fn lgammaf x ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn lgammal x ,
|
|
but the caller must provide an integer to store the sign of \(*G(x).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn tgamma x ,
|
|
.Fn tgammaf x ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn tgammal x
|
|
functions return \(*G(x), with no effect on
|
|
.Fa signgam .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn gamma ,
|
|
.Fn gammaf ,
|
|
.Fn gamma_r ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn gammaf_r
|
|
are deprecated aliases for
|
|
.Fn lgamma ,
|
|
.Fn lgammaf ,
|
|
.Fn lgamma_r ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn lgammaf_r ,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
.Sh IDIOSYNCRASIES
|
|
Do not use the expression
|
|
.Dq Li signgam\(**exp(lgamma(x))
|
|
to compute g := \(*G(x).
|
|
Instead use a program like this (in C):
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
lg = lgamma(x); g = signgam\(**exp(lg);
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Only after
|
|
.Fn lgamma
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn lgammaf
|
|
has returned can signgam be correct.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For arguments in its range,
|
|
.Fn tgamma
|
|
is preferred, as for positive arguments
|
|
it is accurate to within one unit in the last place.
|
|
Exponentiation of
|
|
.Fn lgamma
|
|
will lose up to 10 significant bits.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn gamma ,
|
|
.Fn gammaf ,
|
|
.Fn gammal ,
|
|
.Fn gamma_r ,
|
|
.Fn gammaf_r ,
|
|
.Fn gammal_r ,
|
|
.Fn lgamma ,
|
|
.Fn lgammaf ,
|
|
.Fn lgammal ,
|
|
.Fn lgamma_r ,
|
|
.Fn lgammaf_r ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn lgammal_r
|
|
return appropriate values unless an argument is out of range.
|
|
Overflow will occur for sufficiently large positive values, and
|
|
non-positive integers.
|
|
For large non-integer negative values,
|
|
.Fn tgamma
|
|
will underflow.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
To conform with newer C/C++ standards, a stub implementation for
|
|
.Nm tgammal
|
|
was committed to the math library, where
|
|
.Nm tgammal
|
|
is mapped to
|
|
.Nm tgamma .
|
|
Thus, the numerical accuracy is at most that of the 53-bit double
|
|
precision implementation.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn lgamma
|
|
function appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.3 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn gamma
|
|
function appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.4
|
|
as a function which computed \(*G(x).
|
|
This version was used in
|
|
.Fx 1.1 .
|
|
The name
|
|
.Fn gamma
|
|
was originally dedicated to the
|
|
.Fn lgamma
|
|
function,
|
|
and that usage was restored by switching to Sun's fdlibm in
|
|
.Fx 1.1.5 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn tgamma
|
|
function appeared in
|
|
.Fx 5.0 .
