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       acosh, acoshf, acoshl — inverse hyperbolic cosine functions
13

SYNOPSIS

15       #include <math.h>
16
17       double acosh(double x);
18       float acoshf(float x);
19       long double acoshl(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 inverse hyperbolic cosine of their
28       argument 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  inverse
38       hyperbolic cosine of their argument.
39
40       For  finite  values  of x < 1, a domain error shall occur, and either a
41       NaN  (if  supported),  or  an  implementation-defined  value  shall  be
42       returned.
43
44       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
45
46       If x is +1, +0 shall be returned.
47
48       If x is +Inf, +Inf shall be returned.
49
50       If x is -Inf, a domain error shall occur, and a NaN shall be returned.
51

ERRORS

53       These functions shall fail if:
54
55       Domain Error
56                   The x argument is finite and less than +1.0, or is -Inf.
57
58                   If  the  integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO)
59                   is non-zero, then errno shall be set  to  [EDOM].   If  the
60                   integer  expression  (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is
61                   non-zero, then the invalid floating-point  exception  shall
62                   be raised.

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.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

78       None.
