NAME         top

       acosh, acoshf, acoshl - inverse hyperbolic cosine function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <math.h>
       double acosh(double x);
       float acoshf(float x);
       long double acoshl(long double x);
       Link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions calculate the inverse hyperbolic cosine of x; that is
       the value whose hyperbolic cosine is x.

RETURN VALUE         top

       On success, these functions return the inverse hyperbolic cosine of
       x.
       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
       If x is +1, +0 is returned.
       If x is positive infinity, positive infinity is returned.
       If x is less than 1, a domain error occurs, and the functions return
       a NaN.

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:
       Domain error: x is less than 1
              errno is set to EDOM.  An invalid floating-point exception
              (FE_INVALID) is raised.

CONFORMING TO         top
