ASINH(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual ASINH(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 asinh, asinhf, asinhl -- inverse hyperbolic sine functions SYNOPSIS #include double asinh(double x); float asinhf(float x); long double asinhl(long double x); DESCRIPTION The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2017 defers to the ISO C standard. These functions shall compute the inverse hyperbolic sine 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 inverse hyperbolic sine of their argument. If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned. If x is +-0, or +-Inf, x shall be returned. If x is subnormal, a range error may occur and x should be returned. If x is not returned, asinh(), asinhf(), and asinhl() shall return an implementation-defined value no greater in magnitude than DBL_MIN, FLT_MIN, and LDBL_MIN, respectively. ERRORS These functions may fail if: Range Error The value of x is subnormal. 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 underflow 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. RATIONALE None. FUTURE DIRECTIONS None.
