+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
+ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
+ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+These functions shall compute $\(*G ( ^ x )$
+where $\(*G ( ^ x )$ is defined as
+$int from 0 to inf e"^" " "{ - t } t"^" " "{ x - 1 } dt$.
+.P
+An application wishing to check for error situations should set
+.IR errno
+to zero and call
+.IR feclearexcept (FE_ALL_EXCEPT)
+before calling these functions. On return, if
+.IR errno
+is non-zero or \fIfetestexcept\fR(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO |
+FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the gamma of
+.IR x .
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is a negative integer, a
+domain
+error may occur and either a NaN (if supported) or an
+implementation-defined value shall be returned.
+On systems that support the IEC 60559 Floating-Point option, a domain
+error shall occur and a NaN shall be returned.
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is \(+-0,
+\fItgamma\fR(),
+\fItgammaf\fR(),
+and
+\fItgammal\fR()
+shall return \(+-HUGE_VAL, \(+-HUGE_VALF, and \(+-HUGE_VALL,
+respectively.
+On systems that support the IEC 60559 Floating-Point option, a pole
+error shall occur;
+otherwise, a
+pole
+error may occur.
+.P
+If the correct value would cause overflow, a range error shall occur
+and
+\fItgamma\fR(),
+\fItgammaf\fR(),
+and
+\fItgammal\fR()
+shall return \(+-HUGE_VAL, \(+-HUGE_VALF, or \(+-HUGE_VALL,
+respectively, with the same sign as the correct value of the function.
+.P
+If the correct value would cause underflow,
+and is not representable,
+a range error may occur, and
+\fItgamma\fR(),
+\fItgammaf\fR(),
+and
+\fItgammal\fR()
+shall return
+0.0, or
+(if IEC 60559 Floating-Point is not supported) an implementation-defined
+value no greater in magnitude than DBL_MIN, FLT_MIN, and LDBL_MIN,
+respectively.
+.P
+If the correct value would cause underflow, and is representable,
+a range error may occur and the correct value shall be returned.
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is subnormal and 1/\c
+.IR x
+is representable, 1/\c
+.IR x
+should be returned.
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is +Inf,
+.IR x
+shall be returned.
+.P
+If
+.IR x
+is \-Inf, a domain error shall occur, and a NaN shall be returned.

+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+On error, the expressions (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERRNO) and
+(\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each
+other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.
+.SH RATIONALE
+This function is named
+\fItgamma\fR()
+in order to avoid conflicts with the historical
+.IR gamma (\|)
+and
+\fIlgamma\fR()
+functions.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+It is possible that the error response for a negative integer argument
+may be changed to a pole error and a return value of \(+-Inf.
