COSH(3P)		   POSIX Programmer's Manual		      COSH(3P)

PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the	 corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       cosh, coshf, coshl - hyperbolic cosine functions

SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>

       double cosh(double x);
       float coshf(float x);
       long double coshl(long double x);

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

       An  application	wishing to check for error situations should set errno
       to zero and  call  feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)	before	calling	 these
       functions.   On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID
       | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error  has
       occurred.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the hyperbolic
       cosine of x.

       If the correct value would cause overflow, a range  error  shall	 occur
       and  cosh(),  coshf(),  and coshl() shall return the value of the macro
       HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, and HUGE_VALL, respectively.

       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

       If x is ±0, the value 1.0 shall be returned.

       If x is ±Inf, +Inf shall be returned.

ERRORS
       These functions shall fail if:

       Range Error
	      The result would cause an overflow.

       If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is  non-zero,
       then  errno  shall  be  set  to	[ERANGE].  If  the  integer expression
       (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT)  is	non-zero,  then	 the  overflow
       floating-point exception shall be raised.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION USAGE
       On   error,   the   expressions	(math_errhandling  &  MATH_ERRNO)  and
       (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other,  but
       at least one of them must be non-zero.

       For  IEEE Std 754-1985  double,	710.5  < |x| implies that cosh( x) has
       overflowed.

RATIONALE
       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
