NAME
asinh, asinhf, asinhl - inverse hyperbolic sine function
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double asinh(double x);
float asinhf(float x);
long double asinhl(long double x);
Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
asinh():
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || _ISOC99_SOURCE; or
cc -std=c99
asinhf(),
asinhl():
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE; or
cc -std=c99
DESCRIPTION
The
asinh()
function calculates the inverse hyperbolic sine of
x; that is the value whose hyperbolic sine is x.
RETURN VALUE
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.
ERRORS
No errors occur.
CONFORMING TO
C99, POSIX.1-2001.
The variant returning
double
also conforms to
SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
