/* BUG:  FIXME?
     According to Linux man pages for tgamma, lgamma, and gamma, the gamma
function was originally defined in BSD as implemented here--the log of the gamma
function.  BSD 4.3 changed the name to lgamma, apparently removing gamma.  BSD
4.4 re-introduced the gamma name with the more intuitive, without logarithm,
plain gamma function.  The C99 standard apparently wanted to avoid a problem
with the poorly-named earlier gamma and used tgamma when adding a plain
gamma function.
     So the current gamma is matching an old, bad definition, and not
matching a newer, better definition.  */

SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double gamma(double <[x]>);
float gammaf(float <[x]>);
double lgamma(double <[x]>);
float lgammaf(float <[x]>);
double gamma_r(double <[x]>, int *<[signgamp]>);
float gammaf_r(float <[x]>, int *<[signgamp]>);
double lgamma_r(double <[x]>, int *<[signgamp]>);
float lgammaf_r(float <[x]>, int *<[signgamp]>);
double tgamma(double <[x]>);
float tgammaf(float <[x]>);

DESCRIPTION
<<gamma>> calculates
@tex
$\mit ln\bigl(\Gamma(x)\bigr)$,
@end tex
the natural logarithm of the gamma function of <[x]>.  The gamma function
(<<exp(gamma(<[x]>))>>) is a generalization of factorial, and retains
the property that
@ifnottex
<<exp(gamma(N))>> is equivalent to <<N*exp(gamma(N-1))>>.
@end ifnottex
@tex
$\mit \Gamma(N)\equiv N\times\Gamma(N-1)$.
@end tex
Accordingly, the results of the gamma function itself grow very
quickly.  <<gamma>> is defined as
@tex
$\mit ln\bigl(\Gamma(x)\bigr)$ rather than simply $\mit \Gamma(x)$
@end tex
@ifnottex
the natural log of the gamma function, rather than the gamma function
itself,
@end ifnottex
to extend the useful range of results representable.

The sign of the result is returned in the global variable <<signgam>>,
which is declared in math.h.

<<gammaf>> performs the same calculation as <<gamma>>, but uses and
returns <<float>> values.

<<lgamma>> and <<lgammaf>> are alternate names for <<gamma>> and
<<gammaf>>.  The use of <<lgamma>> instead of <<gamma>> is a reminder
that these functions compute the log of the gamma function, rather
than the gamma function itself.

The functions <<gamma_r>>, <<gammaf_r>>, <<lgamma_r>>, and
<<lgammaf_r>> are just like <<gamma>>, <<gammaf>>, <<lgamma>>, and
<<lgammaf>>, respectively, but take an additional argument.  This
additional argument is a pointer to an integer.  This additional
argument is used to return the sign of the result, and the global
variable <<signgam>> is not used.  These functions may be used for
reentrant calls (but they will still set the global variable <<errno>>
if an error occurs).

<<tgamma>> and <<tgammaf>> are the "true gamma" functions, returning
@tex
$\mit \Gamma(x)$,
@end tex
the gamma function of <[x]>--without a logarithm.
(They are apparently so named because of the prior existence of the old,
poorly-named <<gamma>> functions which returned the log of gamma up
through BSD 4.2.)

RETURNS
Normally, the computed result is returned.

When <[x]> is a nonpositive integer, <<gamma>> returns <<HUGE_VAL>>
and <<errno>> is set to <<EDOM>>.  If the result overflows, <<gamma>>
returns <<HUGE_VAL>> and <<errno>> is set to <<ERANGE>>.

You can modify this error treatment using <<matherr>>.

PORTABILITY
Neither <<gamma>> nor <<gammaf>> is ANSI C.  It is better not to use either
of these; use <<lgamma>> or <<tgamma>> instead.@*
<<lgamma>>, <<lgammaf>>, <<tgamma>>, and <<tgammaf>> are nominally C standard
in terms of the base return values, although the <<matherr>> error-handling
is not standard, nor is the <[signgam]> global for <<lgamma>>.
