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.

.SH NAME

cosh,

coshf,

coshl

\(em hyperbolic cosine functions

.SH SYNOPSIS

.LP

.nf

#include <math.h>

.P

double cosh(double \fIx\fP);

float coshf(float \fIx\fP);

long double coshl(long double \fIx\fP);

.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION

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\(hy2008 defers to the ISO\ C standard.

.P

These functions shall compute the hyperbolic cosine of their argument

.IR x .

.P

An application wishing to check for error situations should set

.IR errno

to zero and call

.IR feclearexcept (FE_ALL_EXCEPT)

before calling these functions. On return, if

.IR errno

is non-zero or \fIfetestexcept\fR(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO |

FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred.

.SH "RETURN VALUE"

Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the hyperbolic

cosine of

.IR x .

.P

If the correct value would cause overflow, a range error shall occur

and

\fIcosh\fR(),

\fIcoshf\fR(),

and

\fIcoshl\fR()

shall return the value of the macro HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, and HUGE_VALL,

respectively.

.P

If

.IR x

is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

.P

If

.IR x

is \(+-0, the value 1.0 shall be returned.

.P

If

.IR x

is \(+-Inf, +Inf shall be returned.

.SH ERRORS

These functions shall fail if:

.IP "Range\ Error" 12

The result would cause an overflow.

.RS 12 

.P

If the integer expression (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERRNO) is

non-zero, then

.IR errno

shall be set to

.BR [ERANGE] .

If the integer expression (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is

non-zero, then the overflow floating-point exception shall be raised.

.RE

.LP

.IR "The following sections are informative."

.SH EXAMPLES

None.

.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"

On error, the expressions (\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERRNO) and

(\fImath_errhandling\fR & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each

other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.

.P

For IEEE\ Std\ 754\(hy1985

.BR double ,

710.5 < |\fIx\fP| implies that

.IR cosh (\c

.IR x )

has overflowed.

.SH RATIONALE

None.

.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"

None.
