Type and version: KN01 7.3M (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PMAX-MFB
What were you trying to do?
Use some of the library functions listed in "man 3f intro"
What's wrong:
A number of the functions listed are undefined at link, and are not
defined in any of the Fortran libraries. These include
besj0 bessel.3f Returns real*4 bessel function (k:1, o:0).
besj1 bessel.3f Returns real*4 bessel function (k:1, o:1).
besjn bessel.3f Returns real*4 bessel function (k:1, o:n).
bessel bessel.3f Returns bessel functions.
besy0 bessel.3f Returns real*4 bessel function (k:2, o:0).
besy1 bessel.3f Returns real*4 bessel function (k:2, o:1).
besyn bessel.3f Returns real*4 bessel function (k:2, o:n).
dbesj0 bessel.3f Returns real*8 bessel function (k:1, o:0).
dbesj1 bessel.3f Returns real*8 bessel function (k:1, o:1).
dbesjn bessel.3f Returns real*8 bessel function (k:1, o:n).
dbesy0 bessel.3f Returns real*8 bessel function (k:2, o:0).
dbesy1 bessel.3f Returns real*8 bessel function (k:2, o:1).
dbesyn bessel.3f Returns real*8 bessel function (k:2, o:n).
dffrac flmin.3f Returns frac accuracy of real*8 fp value.
dflmax flmin.3f Returns maximum positive real*8 fp value.
dflmin flmin.3f Returns minimum positive real*8 fp value.
ffrac flmin.3f Returns frac accuracy of real*4 fp value.
flmax flmin.3f Returns maximum positive real*4 fp value.
flmin flmin.3f Returns minimum positive real*4 fp value.
inmax flmin.3f Returns maximum positive integer value.
What should have happened:
?????????
three guesses:
a) the man pages are wrong, no such functions exist
b) the man pages are right, but the functions are not installed
c) the man pages are partially right, but the functions are not installed
in a library that is used by default.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
man 3f intro
