SYNOPSIS

12       float acoshf(float x);
13       long double acoshl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION

25       The  acosh()  function  calculates  the inverse hyperbolic cosine of x;
26       that is the value whose hyperbolic cosine is x.
27

RETURN VALUE

29       On success, these functions return the inverse hyperbolic cosine of x.
30
31       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
32
33       If x is +1, +0 is returned.
34
35       If x is positive infinity, positive infinity is returned.
36
37       If x is less than 1, a domain error occurs, and the functions return  a
38       NaN.
39

ERRORS

41       See  math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error
42       has occurred when calling these functions.
43
44       The following errors can occur:
45
46       Domain error: x is less than 1
47              errno is set  to  EDOM.   An  invalid  floating-point  exception
48              (FE_INVALID) is raised.
49

CONFORMING TO

51       C99, POSIX.1-2001.  The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4,
52       4.3BSD, C89.
