NAME

6       sinh, sinhf, sinhl - hyperbolic sine function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <math.h>
10
11       double sinh(double x);
12       float sinhf(float x);
13       long double sinhl(long double x);

17   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
18
19       sinhf(), sinhl():
20           _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
21               || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
22               || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
23

DESCRIPTION

25       These functions return the hyperbolic sine of x, which is defined math‐
26       ematically as:
27
28           sinh(x) = (exp(x) - exp(-x)) / 2
29

RETURN VALUE

31       On success, these functions return the hyperbolic sine of x.
32
33       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
34
35       If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.
36
37       If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), positive infinity (nega‐
38       tive infinity) is returned.
39
40       If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return
41       HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL, respectively, with the same sign  as
42       x.
43

ERRORS

45       See  math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error
46       has occurred when calling these functions.
47
48       The following errors can occur:
49
50       Range error: result overflow
51              errno is set to ERANGE.  An  overflow  floating-point  exception
52              (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.
