On the .Tn VAX and .Tn Tahoe architectures, for the Bessel functions of the second kind, a negative or zero .Fa x value results in an error; the global variable .Va errno is set to .Er EDOM and a reserve operand fault is generated. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr math 3 .Sh HISTORY This set of functions appeared in .At v7 .
