DESCRIPTION

31       These  functions calculate the inverse hyperbolic tangent of x; that is
32       the value whose hyperbolic tangent is x.
33

RETURN VALUE

35       On success, these functions return the inverse hyperbolic tangent of x.
36
37       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
38
39       If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.
40
41       If x is +1 or -1,  a  pole  error  occurs,  and  the  functions  return
42       HUGE_VAL,  HUGE_VALF,  or  HUGE_VALL, respectively, with the mathemati‐
43       cally correct sign.
44
45       If the absolute value of x is greater than 1, a  domain  error  occurs,
46       and a NaN is returned.
47

ERRORS

49       See  math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error
50       has occurred when calling these functions.
51
52       The following errors can occur:
53
54       Domain error: x less than -1 or greater than +1
55              errno is set  to  EDOM.   An  invalid  floating-point  exception
56              (FE_INVALID) is raised.
57
58       Pole error: x is +1 or -1
59              errno  is set to ERANGE (but see BUGS).  A divide-by-zero float‐
60              ing-point exception (FE_DIVBYZERO) is raised.

CONFORMING TO

72       C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
73
74       The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD.
75

BUGS

77       In  glibc  2.9  and  earlier, when a pole error occurs, errno as set to
78       EDOM instead of the POSIX-mandated ERANGE.  Since version  2.10,  glibc
79       does the right thing.
