-.SH DESCRIPTION
-These functions are deprecated: instead, use either the
-.BR tgamma (3)
-or the
-.BR lgamma (3)
-functions, as appropriate.
-.P
-For the definition of the Gamma function, see
-.BR tgamma (3).
-.SS *BSD version
-The libm in 4.4BSD and some versions of FreeBSD had a
-.BR gamma ()
-function that computes the Gamma function, as one would expect.
-.SS glibc version
-glibc has a
-.BR gamma ()
-function that is equivalent to
-.BR lgamma (3)
-and computes the natural logarithm of the Gamma function.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-See
-.BR lgamma (3).
-.SH ERRORS
-See
-.BR lgamma (3).

-.SH STANDARDS
-None.
-.SH HISTORY
-SVID 2.
-.P
-Because of historical variations in behavior across systems,
-this function is not specified in any recent standard.
-.P
-4.2BSD had a
-.BR gamma ()
-that computed
-.RI ln(|Gamma(| x |)|),
-leaving the sign of
-.RI Gamma(| x |)
-in the external integer
-.IR signgam .
-In 4.3BSD the name was changed to
-.BR lgamma (3),
-and the man page promises
-.P
-.in +4n
-"At some time in the future the name gamma will be rehabilitated
-and used for the Gamma function"
-.in
-.P
-This did indeed happen in 4.4BSD, where
-.BR gamma ()
-computes the Gamma function (with no effect on
-.IR signgam ).
-However, this came too late, and we now have
-.BR tgamma (3),
-the "true gamma" function.
-.\" The FreeBSD man page says about gamma() that it is like lgamma()
-.\" except that is does not set signgam.
-.\" Also, that 4.4BSD has a gamma() that computes the true gamma function.
