NAME

   cerf, cerfc - complex error functions

SYNOPSIS

   #include <cerf.h>

   double _Complex cerf ( double _Complex z );

   double _Complex cerfc ( double _Complex z );

DESCRIPTION

   The function cerf is the complex version of the error function: erf(z)
   = 2/sqrt(pi) * integral from 0 to z of exp(-t*t) dt.

   The complementary complex error function cerfc is defined as erfc(z) =
   1-cerf(z).
