cosh(3M)
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.
