The
erf() function returns the error function of
x, defined as
erf(x) = 2/sqrt(pi)* integral from 0 to x of exp(−t*t)
dt
On success, these functions return the error function of x, a value in the range [−1, 1].
If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is +0 (−0), +0 (−0) is returned.
If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), +1 (−1) is returned.
If x is subnormal, a range error occurs, and the return value is 2*x/sqrt(pi).
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 (x is subnormal)
An underflow floating-point exception (FE_UNDERFLOW) is raised.
These functions do not set errno.
C99, POSIX.1-2001. The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD.
