Guardian Native C Library Calls (t - z) tgammaf(3)
NAME
tgammaf - Computes the true gamma function for a float value
LIBRARY
H-series and J-series native Guardian processes: $SYSTEM.ZDLLnnn.ZCREDLL
32-bit H-series and J-series OSS processes: /G/system/zdllnnn/zcredll

SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
float tgammaf(
float x);
PARAMETERS
x Specifies a positive float value.
DESCRIPTION
The tgammaf() function is a float version of the tgamma() function; it takes a float argument
and returns a float result.
The tgammaf() function computes the true gamma function of x. In contrast, the lgammaf()
function and the gamma() function compute the logarithm of gamma.
NOTES
This function is implemented only for the IEEE_float floating-point option. Applications using
this function cannot be compiled if the specified floating-point option is Tandem_float.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the tgammaf() function returns the true gamma of x.
If the value of x is a negative integer, NaN is returned and errno is set to [EDOM].
If the value of x is NaN, NaN is returned.
If the value of x is positive infinity, x is returned.
If the value of x is negative infinity, NaN is returned and errno is set to [EDOM].
If the value of x is positive or negative zero, HUGE_VALF is returned and errno is set to
[ERANGE].
If the result would cause overflow, +HUGE_VALF or -HUGE_VALF (with the same sign as the
correct value of the function) is returned and errno is set to [ERANGE].
ERRORS
If any of the following conditions occurs, the tgammaf() function sets errno to the correspond-
ing value:
[EDOM] The value of x is a negative integer or negative infinity.
[ERANGE] The value to be returned is positive or negative zero or would cause overflow.
