+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B libcolour_delta_e
+and its non-generic functions calculate the delta E*_ab
+.RB [ _
+denotes that the following characters shall be subscripted]
+(the distance in CIE L*a*b*) of two colours, and stores the
+distance in
+.IR *result .
+.SH RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion, the functions returns 0.
+Otherwise the function return -1 with
+.I errno
+set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+These functions fail if and only if
