SINH(3)                   Linux Programmer's Manual                  SINH(3)

NAME         top

       sinh, sinhf, sinhl - hyperbolic sine function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <math.h>
       double sinh(double x);
       float sinhf(float x);
       long double sinhl(long double x);
       Link with -lm.
   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
       sinhf(), sinhl():
           _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
               || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
               || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions return the hyperbolic sine of x, which is defined
       mathematically as:
           sinh(x) = (exp(x) - exp(-x)) / 2

RETURN VALUE         top

       On success, these functions return the hyperbolic sine of x.
       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
       If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.
       If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), positive infinity
       (negative infinity) is returned.
       If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions
       return HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL, respectively, with the same
       sign as x.

ERRORS         top

       See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an
       error has occurred when calling these functions.
       The following errors can occur:
       Range error: result overflow
              errno is set to ERANGE.  An overflow floating-point exception
              (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.
