fea681da 63.SH DESCRIPTION
5600f73a 64These functions return the sine of
022671eb
MK
65.IR x ,
66where
67.I x
68is
fea681da 69given in radians.
93207036
MK
70.SH RETURN VALUE
71On success, these functions return the sine of
72.IR x .
847e0d88 73.PP
93207036
MK
74If
75.I x
76is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
847e0d88 77.PP
93207036
MK
78If
79.I x
80is positive infinity or negative infinity,
efe294cb 81a domain error occurs,
93207036
MK
82and a NaN is returned.

84.\" POSIX.1 allows an optional range error for subnormal x
85.\" glibc 2.8 doesn't do this
86.SH ERRORS
87See
