Computes the natural logarithm of the absolute value of the gamma function of arg.

[edit] Parameters
| arg | - | floating point value |
[edit] Return value
The value of the logarithm of the gamma function of arg, that is log
e|∫∞
0targ-1
e-t dt|.
If arg is a natural number, lgamma(arg) is the logarithm of the factorial of arg-1.
[edit] Exceptions
If arg is zero or a negative integer, pole error may occur and FE_INVALID or FE_DIVBYZERO may be raised.
If arg is too large, range error may occur and FE_OVERFLOW may be raised.
[edit] Notes
POSIX specification additionally requires that each execution of lgamma stores the sign of the gamma function of arg in the external variable signgam.
