SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

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

RETURN VALUE

29       On success, these functions return the inverse hyperbolic tangent of x.
30
31       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
32
33       If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.
34
35       If x is +1 or -1,  a  pole  error  occurs,  and  the  functions  return
36       HUGE_VAL,  HUGE_VALF,  or  HUGE_VALL, respectively, with the mathemati‐
37       cally correct sign.
38
39       If the absolute value of x is greater than 1, a  domain  error  occurs,
40       and a NaN is returned.
41

ERRORS

43       See  math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error
44       has occurred when calling these functions.
45
46       The following errors can occur:
47
48       Domain error: x less than -1 or greater than +1
49              errno is set  to  EDOM.   An  invalid  floating-point  exception
50              (FE_INVALID) is raised.
51
52       Pole error: x is +1 or -1
53              errno  is set to ERANGE.  A divide-by-zero floating-point excep‐
54              tion (FE_DIVBYZERO) is raised.
55

CONFORMING TO

57       C99, POSIX.1-2001.  The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4,
58       4.3BSD, C89.
