fea681da | 66 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
60a90ecd MK |
67 | The |
68 | .BR cosh () | |
69 | function returns the hyperbolic cosine of \fIx\fP, which | |
658670de MK |
70 | is defined mathematically as: |
71 | .nf | |
72 | ||
73 | cosh(x) = (exp(x) + exp(\-x)) / 2 | |
494fc522 | 74 | .fi |
47297adb | 75 | .SH RETURN VALUE |
5bb52d98 MK |
76 | On success, these functions return the hyperbolic cosine of |
77 | .IR x . | |
78 | ||
79 | If | |
80 | .I x | |
81 | is a NaN, a NaN is returned. | |
82 | ||
83 | If | |
84 | .I x | |
85 | is +0 or \-0, 1 is returned. | |
86 | ||
87 | If | |
88 | .I x | |
89 | is positive infinity or negative infinity, | |
90 | positive infinity is returned. | |
91 | ||
92 | If the result overflows, | |
efe294cb | 93 | a range error occurs, |
5bb52d98 MK |
94 | and the functions return |
95 | .RB + HUGE_VAL , | |
96 | .RB + HUGE_VALF , | |
97 | or | |
98 | .RB + HUGE_VALL , | |
99 | respectively. | |
100 | .SH ERRORS | |
101 | See | |
102 | .BR math_error (7) | |
103 | for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred | |
104 | when calling these functions. | |
105 | .PP | |
106 | The following errors can occur: | |
107 | .TP | |
108 | Range error: result overflow | |
109 | .I errno | |
110 | is set to | |
111 | .BR ERANGE . | |
112 | An overflow floating-point exception | |
113 | .RB ( FE_OVERFLOW ) | |
114 | is raised. | |
47297adb | 115 | .SH CONFORMING TO |
5bb52d98 MK |
116 | C99, POSIX.1-2001. |
117 | The variant returning | |
118 | .I double | |
119 | also conforms to | |
120 | SVr4, 4.3BSD. | |
47836143 MK |
121 | .SH BUGS |
122 | In glibc version 2.3.4 and earlier, | |
123 | an overflow floating-point | |
124 | .RB ( FE_OVERFLOW ) | |
125 | exception is not raised when an overflow occurs. | |
