DESCRIPTION

26       These functions return the cosine of x, where x is given in radians.
27

RETURN VALUE

29       On success, these functions return the cosine of x.
30
31       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
32
33       If  x is positive infinity or negative infinity, a domain error occurs,
34       and a NaN is returned.
35

ERRORS

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

HISTORY

60       C89, POSIX.1-2001.
61
62       The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD.
63

BUGS

65       Before  glibc  2.10, the glibc implementation did not set errno to EDOM
66       when a domain error occurred.
