COSH(3P)                POSIX Programmer's Manual               COSH(3P)

PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       cosh, coshf, coshl — hyperbolic cosine functions

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <math.h>

       double cosh(double x);
       float coshf(float x);
       long double coshl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned
       with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements
       described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This
       volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       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         top

       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         top

       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         top

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE         top

       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.

RATIONALE         top

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS         top

       None.
