ERFC(3) Linux Programmer's Manual ERFC(3) NAME erfc, erfcf, erfcl - complementary error function SYNOPSIS #include <math.h> 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)): erfc(): _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L || _XOPEN_SOURCE || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE || /* Glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE erfcf(), erfcl(): _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE || /* Glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE DESCRIPTION These functions return the complementary error function of x, that is, 1.0 - erf(x). RETURN VALUE On success, these functions return the complementary error function of x, a value in the range [0,2]. If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is +0 or -0, 1 is returned. If x is positive infinity, +0 is returned. If x is negative infinity, +2 is returned. If the function result underflows and produces an unrepresentable value, the return value is 0.0. If the function result underflows but produces a representable (i.e., subnormal) value, that value is returned, and a range error occurs. ERRORS See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions. The following errors can occur: Range error: result underflow (result is subnormal) An underflow floating-point exception (FE_UNDERFLOW) is raised. These functions do not set errno.

The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD. NOTES The erfc(), erfcf(), and erfcl() functions are provided to avoid the loss accuracy that would occur for the calculation 1-erf(x) for large values of x (for which the value of erf(x) approaches 1).
