NAME
       lgamma,	lgammaf,  lgammal,  lgamma_r, lgammaf_r, lgammal_r - log gamma
       function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       double lgamma(double x);
       float lgammaf(float x);
       long double lgammal(long double x);

       double lgamma_r(double x, int *signp);
       float lgammaf_r(float x, int *signp);
       long double lgammal_r(long double x, int *signp);

       Compile with -std=c99; link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION
       For the definition of the Gamma function, see tgamma(3).

       The lgamma() function returns the natural  logarithm  of	 the  absolute
       value  of  the  Gamma  function.	  The  sign  of	 the Gamma function is
       returned in the external integer signgam declared in <math.h>.  It is 1
       when the Gamma function is positive or zero, -1 when it is negative.

       Since  using  a constant location signgam is not thread-safe, the func‐
       tions lgamma_r() etc. have been introduced; they return this  sign  via
       the parameter signp.

       For  non-positive  integer values of x, lgamma() returns HUGE_VAL, sets
       errno to ERANGE and raises  the	zero  divide  exception.   (Similarly,
       lgammaf() returns HUGE_VALF and lgammal() returns HUGE_VALL.)

ERRORS
       In  order  to  check  for errors, set errno to zero and call feclearex‐
       cept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if errno
       is  non-zero  or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW |
       FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred.

       A range error occurs if x is too large.	A pole error occurs if x is  a
       negative integer or zero.

CONFORMING TO
       C99, SVr4, 4.3BSD
