DESCRIPTION
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.
