-.Sh NAME
-.Nm lgamma
-.Nm gamma
-.Nd log gamma function, gamma function
-.Sh LIBRARY
-.Lb libm
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.In math.h
-.Ft extern int
-.Fa signgam ;
-.sp
-.Ft double
-.Fn lgamma "double x"
-.Ft double
-.Fn gamma "double x"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-.Fn Lgamma x
-.if t \{\
-returns ln\||\(*G(x)| where
-.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
-\(*G(x) = \(is\d\s8\z0\s10\u\u\s8\(if\s10\d t\u\s8x\-1\s10\d e\u\s8\-t\s10\d dt for x > 0 and
-.br
-\(*G(x) = \(*p/(\(*G(1\-x)\|sin(\(*px)) for x < 1.
-.Ed
-.\}
-.if n \
-returns ln\||\(*G(x)|.
-.Pp
-The external integer
-.Fa signgam
-returns the sign of \(*G(x).
-.Pp
-.Fn Gamma x
-returns \(*G(x), with no effect on
-.Fa signgam .
-.Sh IDIOSYNCRASIES
-Do not use the expression
-.Dq Li signgam\(**exp(lgamma(x))
-to compute g := \(*G(x).
-Instead use a program like this (in C):
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-lg = lgamma(x); g = signgam\(**exp(lg);
-.Ed
-.Pp
-Only after
-.Fn lgamma
-has returned can signgam be correct.
-.Pp
-For arguments in its range,
-.Fn gamma
-is preferred, as for positive arguments
-it is accurate to within one unit in the last place.
-Exponentiation of
-.Fn lgamma
-will lose up to 10 significant bits.
-.Sh RETURN VALUES
-.Fn Gamma
-and
-.Fn lgamma
-return appropriate values unless an argument is out of range.
-Overflow will occur for sufficiently large positive values, and
-non-positive integers.
-On the
-.Tn VAX ,
-the reserved operator is returned,
-and
-.Va errno
-is set to
-.Er ERANGE .
-For large non-integer negative values,
-.Fn gamma
-will underflow.
-.Sh SEE ALSO
-.Xr infnan 3 ,
-.Xr math 3
-.Sh HISTORY
-The
-.Fn lgamma
-function appeared in
-.Bx 4.3 .
-The
-.Fn gamma
-function appeared in
-.Bx 4.4 .
-The name
-.Fn gamma
-was originally dedicated to the
-.Fn lgamma
-function, so some old code may no longer be compatible.
