NAME

6       cos, cosf, cosl - cosine function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <math.h>
10
11       double cos(double x);
12       float cosf(float x);
13       long double cosl(long double x);

17   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
18
19       cosf(), cosl(): _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 ||

DESCRIPTION

23       The cos() function returns the cosine of x, where x is given  in  radi‐
24       ans.
25

RETURN VALUE

27       On success, these functions return the cosine of x.
28
29       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
30
31       If  x is positive infinity or negative infinity, a domain error occurs,
32       and a NaN is returned.
33

ERRORS

35       See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an  error
36       has occurred when calling these functions.
37
38       The following errors can occur:
39
40       Domain error: x is an infinity
41              An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.
42
43       These functions do not set errno.
44

CONFORMING TO

46       C99, POSIX.1-2001.  The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4,
47       4.3BSD.
