DESCRIPTION

22       These functions compute the cosine of x, measured in radians.
23

RETURN VALUES

25       Upon successful completion, these functions return the cosine of x.
26
27
28       If x is NaN, NaN is returned.
29
30
31       If x is +0, 1.0 is returned.
32
33
34       If x is ±Inf, a domain error occurs and a NaN is returned.
35

ERRORS

37       These functions will fail if:
38
39       Domain Error    The x argument is ±Inf.
40
41                       If   the   integer   expression   (math_errhandling   &
42                       MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, the invalid floating-point
43                       exception is raised.
44
45

USAGE

47       An  application  wanting to check for exceptions should call feclearex‐
48       cept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before  calling  these  functions.  On  return,  if
49       fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is
50       non-zero, an exception has been raised. An  application  should  either
51       examine the return value or check the floating point exception flags to
52       detect exceptions.
