In the gsl manual
https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Associated-Legendre-Polynomials-and-Spherical-Harmonics.html#Associated-Legendre-Polynomials-and-Spherical-Harmonics



Function: int gsl_sf_legendre_sphPlm_array (int lmax, int m, double x, double 
result_array[])
Function: int gsl_sf_legendre_sphPlm_deriv_array (int lmax, int m, double x, 
double result_array[], double result_deriv_array[])
These functions are now deprecated and will be removed in a future release; see 
gsl_sf_legendre_array and gsl_sf_legendre_deriv_array.
