.SH DESCRIPTION
|
2007-05-12 09:06:04 +00:00
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.BR acosh ()
|
|
|
|
function calculates the inverse hyperbolic cosine of
|
2007-04-24 16:44:51 +00:00
|
|
|
\fIx\fP; that is the value whose hyperbolic cosine is \fIx\fP.

|
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
|
|
On success, these functions return the inverse hyperbolic cosine of
|
|
|
|
.IR x .
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
.I x
|
|
|
|
is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
.I x
|
|
|
|
is +1, +0 is returned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
.I x
|
|
|
|
is positive infinity, positive infinity is returned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
.I x
|
|
|
|
is less than 1,
|
|
|
|
a "domain error" occurs,
|
|
|
|
and the functions return a NaN.

.SH ERRORS
|
2008-08-01 05:25:56 +00:00
|
|
|
See
|
|
|
|
.BR math_error (7)
|
|
|
|
for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
|
|
|
|
when calling these functions.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
The following errors can occur:
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
.TP
|
2008-08-01 05:25:56 +00:00

|
|
|
|
.I errno
|
|
|
|
is set to
|
|
|
|
.BR EDOM .
|
|
|
|
An invalid floating-point exception
|
|
|
|
.RB ( FE_INVALID )
|
|
|
|
is raised.
