DAWSON(3pm)

💖 DAWSON — PDL::GSLSF::DAWSON 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for PDL::GSLSF::DAWSON (that's a Perl 3pm page, iykyk) 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

PDL::GSLSF::DAWSON — it's the PDL interface to GSL Special Functions. literally that's the whole name. iconic behavior honestly 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically: this is an interface to the Special Function package that lives inside the GNU Scientific Library. that's it. that's the description. no notes. ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

(no synopsis lines here, bestie — the original page just jumps straight into the functions. we respect the silence. 💅)

---

👑 FUNCTIONS 👑

⭐ gsl_sf_dawson

here's the signature, verbatim, do not touch:

Signature: (double x(); double [o]y(); double [o]e())

and here's what it actually computes — Dawson's integral:

Exp[-x^2] Integral[ Exp[t^2], {t,0,x}]

that's the formula. she's giving math. slay. 🔥

⚠️ important tea: gsl_sf_dawson does not process bad values. instead, it will set the bad-value flag of all output ndarrays if that flag is set for any of the input ndarrays. so like… one bad input and everybody's flagged. no cap. 💀
