NAME

cosh − hyperbolic cosine function

SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag ... ] file ... −lm [ library ... ]

#include <math.h>

double cosh(double x);

DESCRIPTION

The cosh() function computes the hyperbolic cosine of x.

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, cosh() returns the hyperbolic cosine of x.

If the result would cause an overflow, HUGE_VAL is returned and errno is set to ERANGE. 

If x is NaN, NaN is returned. 

For exceptional cases, matherr(3M) tabulates the values to be returned as dictated by Standards other than XPG4. 

ERRORS

The cosh() function will fail if:

ERANGE The result would cause an overflow. 

USAGE

An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to 0 before calling cosh().  If errno is non-zero on return, or the returned value is NaN, an error has occurred.
