.SH NAME
sinh, sinhf, sinhl \- hyperbolic sine functions
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
\fB#include <math.h>
.br
.sp
double sinh(double\fP \fIx\fP\fB);
.br
float sinhf(float\fP \fIx\fP\fB);
.br
long double sinhl(long double\fP \fIx\fP\fB);

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
These functions shall compute the hyperbolic sine of their argument
\fIx\fP.
.LP
An application wishing to check for error situations should set \fIerrno\fP
to zero and call
\fIfeclearexcept\fP(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions.
On return, if \fIerrno\fP is non-zero or
\fIfetestexcept\fP(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW)
is non-zero, an error has occurred.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the hyperbolic
sine of \fIx\fP.
.LP
If the result would cause an overflow, a range error shall occur and
\(+-HUGE_VAL, \(+-HUGE_VALF, and \(+-HUGE_VALL
(with the same sign as \fIx\fP) shall be returned as appropriate for
the type of the function.
.LP
If
\fIx\fP is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
.LP
If \fIx\fP is \(+-0 or \(+-Inf, \fIx\fP shall be returned.
.LP
If \fIx\fP is subnormal, a range error may occur and \fIx\fP should
be returned. 
.SH ERRORS
.LP
These functions shall fail if:
.TP 7
Range\ Error
The result would cause an overflow. 
.LP
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero,
then \fIerrno\fP 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.
.sp
.LP
These functions may fail if:
.TP 7
Range\ Error
The value \fIx\fP is subnormal. 
.LP
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero,
then \fIerrno\fP shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the
integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero,
then the underflow floating-point exception shall be
raised. 
.sp
.LP
\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
None.
.SH APPLICATION USAGE
.LP
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.
.SH RATIONALE
.LP
None.
.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
.LP
None.
