SINH(3P)                  POSIX Programmer's Manual                 SINH(3P)

PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
       the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       sinh, sinhf, sinhl — hyperbolic sine functions

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <math.h>
       double sinh(double x);
       float sinhf(float x);
       long double sinhl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with
       the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described
       here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of
       POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
       These functions shall compute the hyperbolic sine of their argument
       x.
       An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno
       to zero and call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these
       functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID
       | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error
       has occurred.

RETURN VALUE         top

       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the
       hyperbolic sine of x.
       If the result would cause an overflow, a range error shall occur and
       ±HUGE_VAL, ±HUGE_VALF, and ±HUGE_VALL (with the same sign as x) shall
       be returned as appropriate for the type of the function.
       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
       If x is ±0 or ±Inf, x shall be returned.
       If x is subnormal, a range error may occur
       and x should be returned.
       If x is not returned, sinh(), sinhf(), and sinhl() shall return an
       implementation-defined value no greater in magnitude than DBL_MIN,
       FLT_MIN, and LDBL_MIN, respectively.

ERRORS         top

       These functions shall fail if:
       Range Error The result would cause an overflow.
                   If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO)
                   is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE].  If the
                   integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is
                   non-zero, then the overflow floating-point exception
                   shall be raised.
       These functions may fail if:
       Range Error The value x is subnormal.
                   If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO)
                   is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE].  If the
                   integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is
                   non-zero, then the underflow floating-point exception
                   shall be raised.
       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES         top

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE         top

       On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and
       (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other,
       but at least one of them must be non-zero.

RATIONALE         top

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS         top

       None.
