NAME
cosh, coshf, coshl - hyperbolic cosine function
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double cosh(double x);
float coshf(float x);
long double coshl(long double x);
Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
coshf(),
coshl():
-
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE ||
_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;
or
cc -std=c99
DESCRIPTION
The
cosh()
function returns the hyperbolic cosine of x, which
is defined mathematically as:
cosh(x) = (exp(x) + exp(-x)) / 2
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the hyperbolic cosine of
x.
If
x
is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If
x
is +0 or -0, 1 is returned.
If
x
is positive infinity or negative infinity,
positive infinity is returned.
If the result overflows,
a range error occurs,
and the functions return
+HUGE_VAL,
+HUGE_VALF,
or
+HUGE_VALL,
respectively.
ERRORS
See
math_error(7)
for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
when calling these functions.
The following errors can occur:
- Range error: result overflow
-
errno
is set to
ERANGE.
An overflow floating-point exception
(FE_OVERFLOW)
is raised.
CONFORMING TO
C99, POSIX.1-2001.
The variant returning
double
also conforms to
SVr4, 4.3BSD.
BUGS
In glibc version 2.3.4 and earlier,
an overflow floating-point
(FE_OVERFLOW)
exception is not raised when an overflow occurs.
