+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These functions calculate the error function of
+.Fa x .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn erf
+and the
+.Fn erff
+functions calculate the error function of x; where

+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn erfc
+and the
+.Fn erfcf
+functions calculate 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
