NAME         top

       atanh, atanhf, atanhl - inverse hyperbolic tangent function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <math.h>
       double atanh(double x);
       float atanhf(float x);
       long double atanhl(long double x);
       Link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION         top

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

RETURN VALUE         top

       On success, these functions return the inverse hyperbolic tangent of
       x.
       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
       If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.
       If x is +1 or -1, a pole error occurs, and the functions return
       HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL, respectively, with the
       mathematically correct sign.
       If the absolute value of x is greater than 1, a domain error occurs,
       and a NaN is returned.

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 less than -1 or greater than +1
              errno is set to EDOM.  An invalid floating-point exception
              (FE_INVALID) is raised.
       Pole error: x is +1 or -1
              errno is set to ERANGE (but see BUGS).  A divide-by-zero
              floating-point exception (FE_DIVBYZERO) is raised.

CONFORMING TO         top

       C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
       The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD.

BUGS         top

       In glibc 2.9 and earlier, when a pole error occurs, errno as set to
       EDOM instead of the POSIX-mandated ERANGE.  Since version 2.10, glibc
       does the right thing.
