NAME
cosh, coshf, coshl - hyperbolic cosine functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double cosh(double x);
float coshf(float x);
long double coshl(long double x);
DESCRIPTION
These functions shall compute the hyperbolic cosine of their argument
x.
An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno
to zero and call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these
functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID
| FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has
occurred.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the hyperbolic
cosine of x.
If the correct value would cause overflow, a range error shall occur
and cosh(), coshf(), and coshl() shall return the value of the macro
HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, and HUGE_VALL, respectively.
If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
If x is ±0, the value 1.0 shall be returned.
If x is ±Inf, +Inf shall be returned.
ERRORS
These functions shall fail if:
Range Error
The result would cause an overflow.
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero,
then errno shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the integer expression
(math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the overflow
floating-point exception shall be raised.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and
(math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but
at least one of them must be non-zero.
For IEEE Std 754-1985 double, 710.5 < |x| implies that cosh( x) has
overflowed.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
