These functions compute both at the same time, and store the results in .I *sin and .IR *cos . .PP If .I x is a NaN, a NaN is returned in .I *sin and .IR *cos . .PP If .I x is positive infinity or negative infinity, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned in .I *sin and .IR *cos . .SH RETURN VALUE These functions return .IR void . .SH ERRORS See .BR math_error (7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions. .PP The following errors can occur: .TP Domain error: \fIx\fP is an infinity .\" .I errno .\" is set to .\" .BR EDOM . An invalid floating-point exception .RB ( FE_INVALID ) is raised. .PP These functions do not set .IR errno . .\" FIXME . Is it intentional that these functions do not set errno? .\" sin() and cos() also don't set errno; bugs have been raised for .\" those functions. .\" See https://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15467 .SH VERSIONS These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1. .SH ATTRIBUTES For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see .BR attributes (7). .TS allbox; lbw30 lb lb l l l.
