asinh(3) Library Functions Manual asinh(3)

asinh, asinhf, asinhl - inverse hyperbolic sine function

Math library (libm, -lm)

#include <math.h>
double asinh(double x);
float asinhf(float x);
long double asinhl(long double x);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

asinh():

    _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
        || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500
        || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
        || /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

asinhf(), asinhl():

    _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
        || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
        || /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

These functions calculate the inverse hyperbolic sine of x; that is the value whose hyperbolic sine is x.

On success, these functions return the inverse 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.

No errors occur.

For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
