+.Nd error function operators
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <math.h>
+.Ft double
+.Fn erf "double x"
+.Fn float
+.Fn erff "float x"
+.Ft double
+.Fn erfc "double x"
+.Ft float
+.Fn erfcf "float x"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These functions calculate the error function of
+.Fa x .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn erf
+calculates the error function of x; where
+.Bd -filled -offset indent
+.if n \{\
+erf(x) = 2/sqrt(pi)\(**\|integral from 0 to x of exp(\-t\(**t) dt. \}
+.if t \{\
+erf\|(x) := 
+(2/\(sr\(*p)\|\(is\d\s8\z0\s10\u\u\s8x\s10\d\|exp(\-t\u\s82\s10\d)\|dt. \}
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn erfc
+function calculates the complementary error function of
+.Fa x ;
+that is
+.Fn erfc
+subtracts the result of the error function
+.Fn erf x
+from 1.0.
+This is useful, since for large
+.Fa x
+places disappear.

+functions appeared in
