PROLOG

6       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
7       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
8       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
9       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

12       tanh, tanhf, tanhl — hyperbolic tangent functions
13

SYNOPSIS

15       #include <math.h>
16
17       double tanh(double x);
18       float tanhf(float x);
19       long double tanhl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION

22       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with  the
23       ISO C  standard.  Any  conflict between the requirements described here
24       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This  volume  of  POSIX.1‐2017
25       defers to the ISO C standard.
26
27       These  functions shall compute the hyperbolic tangent of their argument
28       x.
29
30       An application wishing to check for error situations should  set  errno
31       to  zero  and  call  feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)  before calling these
32       functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID |
33       FE_DIVBYZERO  |  FE_OVERFLOW  | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has
34       occurred.
35

RETURN VALUE

37       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the hyperbolic
38       tangent of x.
39
40       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
41
42       If x is ±0, x shall be returned.
43
44       If x is ±Inf, ±1 shall be returned.
45
46       If x is subnormal, a range error may occur
47       and x should be returned.
48
49       If  x  is  not  returned,  tanh(), tanhf(), and tanhl() shall return an
50       implementation-defined value no  greater  in  magnitude  than  DBL_MIN,
51       FLT_MIN, and LDBL_MIN, respectively.
52

ERRORS

54       These functions may fail if:
55
56       Range Error The value of x is subnormal.
57
58                   If  the  integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO)
59                   is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE].   If  the
60                   integer  expression  (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is
61                   non-zero, then the underflow floating-point exception shall
62                   be raised.

EXAMPLES

67       None.
68

APPLICATION USAGE

70       On   error,   the   expressions  (math_errhandling  &  MATH_ERRNO)  and
71       (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other,  but
72       at least one of them must be non-zero.
73

RATIONALE

75       None.
76

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

78       None.
