lgamma() returns the logarithm of the absolute value of gamma of x, or ln(|G(x)|), where G is the gamma function. The sign of gamma of x is returned in the external integer variable signgam as +1 or -1. The x parameter cannot be 0 or a negative integer. gamma() returns the natural log of the gamma function and so is functionally equivalent to lgamma(). Because of this, gamma() is marked TO BE WITHDRAWN in the X/Open Portability Guide, Revision 4 (XPG4).
