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():
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 cosine of x, where x is given in radians.
26

RETURN VALUE

28       On success, these functions return the cosine of x.
29
30       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
31
32       If  x is positive infinity or negative infinity, a domain error occurs,
33       and a NaN is returned.
34

ERRORS

36       See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an  error
37       has occurred when calling these functions.
38
39       The following errors can occur:
40
41       Domain error: x is an infinity
42              errno  is set to EDOM (but see BUGS).  An invalid floating-point
43              exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.
44

CONFORMING TO

55       C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
56
57       The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD.
58

BUGS

60       Before version 2.10, the glibc implementation did not set errno to EDOM
61       when a domain error occurred.
