NAME
       cerfcx, erfcx - underflow-compensated complementary error function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <cerf.h>

       double _Complex cerfcx ( double _Complex z );

       double          erfcx  ( double x );

DESCRIPTION
       The function cerfcx is an underflow-compensated variant of the complex
       error function: erfcx(z) = exp(z^2) erfc(z).

       The function erfcx takes a real argument and returns a real result.

REFERENCES
       The implementation of cerfcx is a thin wrapper around Faddeeva's
       function w_of_z.

       The implementation of erfcx is self-contained, and improves upon the
       SLATEC DERFC function (or an erfcx function derived therefrom) or
       Cody's CALERF function (from netlib.org/specfun), while retaining near
       machine precision in accuracy.

SEE ALSO
       Related complex error functions in liberfc: w_of_z(3), dawson(3),
       voigt(3), cerf(3), erfi(3).

       The real error function comes with recent versions of glibc, as
       requested by the C99 standard: erf(3)
