acosh(3M)		Mathematical Library Functions		     acosh(3M)

NAME
       acosh, acoshf, acoshl - inverse hyperbolic cosine functions

SYNOPSIS
       c99 [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
       #include <math.h>

       double acosh(double x);

       float acoshf(float x);

       long double acoshl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION
       These functions compute the inverse hyperbolic cosine of their argument
       x.

RETURN VALUES
       Upon successful completion, these functions return the  inverse	hyper‐
       bolic cosine of their argument.

       For finite values of  x < 1, a domain error occurs and NaN is returned.

       If x is NaN, NaN is returned.

       If x is +1, +0 is returned.

       If x is +Inf, +Inf is returned.

       If x is −Inf, a domain error occurs and NaN is returned.

       For  exceptional cases, matherr(3M) tabulates the values to be returned
       by acosh() as specified by SVID3 and XPG3.

ERRORS
       These functions will fail if:

       Domain Error    The x argument is finite and less than 1.0, or is −Inf.

		       If   the	  integer   expression	 (math_errhandling   &
		       MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, the invalid floating-point
		       exception is raised.

		       The acosh() function sets errno to EDOM if  x  is  less
		       than 1.0.

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

       An application can also set errno  to  0	 before	 calling  acosh().  On
       return,	if  errno is non-zero, an error has occurred. The acoshf() and
       acoshl() functions do not set errno.
