Mathematical Library Functions                           sinh(3M)



NAME
     sinh, sinhf, sinhl - hyperbolic sine function

SYNOPSIS
     c99 [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
     #include 

     double sinh(double x);


     float sinhf(float x);


     long double sinhl(long double x);


DESCRIPTION
     These functions compute the hyperbolic sine of x.

RETURN VALUES
     Upon  successful  completion,  these  functions  return  the
     hyperbolic sine of x.


     If the result would cause an overflow, a range error  occurs
     and  +_HUGE_VAL,  +_HUGE_VALF,  and  +_HUGE_VALL (with the same
     sign as x) is returned as appropriate for the  type  of  the
     function.


     If x is NaN, a NaN is returned.


     If x is +_0 or +_Inf, x is returned.


     For exceptional cases, matherr(3M) tabulates the  values  to
     be returned by acos() as specified by SVID3 and XPG3.

ERRORS
     These functions will fail if:

     Range Error    The result would cause an overflow.

                    If the integer expression (math_errhandling &
                    MATH_ERREXCEPT)  is  non-zero,  the  overflow
                    floating-point exception is raised.

                    The asinh() function sets errno to ERANGE  if
                    the result would cause an overflow.

USAGE
     An application wanting to check for exceptions  should  call
     feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions.
     On  return,  if  fetestexcept(FE_INVALID  |  FE_DIVBYZERO  |
     FE_OVERFLOW  |  FE_UNDERFLOW)  is non-zero, an exception has
     been raised. An application should either examine the return
     value  or check the floating point exception flags to detect
     exceptions.


     An application can  also  set  errno  to  0  before  calling
     asinh().  On  return,  if  errno  is  non-zero, an error has
     occurred. The asinhf() and asinhl()  functions  do  not  set
     errno.
