sinhl3
Hyperbolic sine function
Part of sinh(3).
Usage
#include <math.h>
double sinh(double x); float sinhf(float x); long double sinhl(long double x);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
sinhf(), sinhl():
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
|| /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
Library
Math library (libm, -lm)
Overview
These functions return the hyperbolic sine of x, which is defined mathematically as:
sinh(x) = (exp(x) - exp(-x)) / 2
Return value
On success, these functions return the hyperbolic sine of x.
If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.
If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), positive infinity (negative infinity) is returned.
If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL, respectively, with the same sign as x.
Errors
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.
The following errors can occur:
- Range error: result overflow
-
errno is set to ERANGE. An overflow floating-point exception (
FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.
