NAME

cacosh, cacoshf, cacoshl - complex arc hyperbolic cosine  

SYNOPSIS

#include <complex.h>

double complex cacosh(double complex z);
float complex cacoshf(float complex z);
long double complex cacoshl(long double complex z);

Link with -lm.  

DESCRIPTION

The cacosh() function calculates the complex arc hyperpolic cosine of z. If y = cacosh(z), then z = ccosh(y). The imaginary part of y is chosen in the interval [-pi,pi]. The real part of y is chosen non-negative.

One has:


    cacosh(z) = (0.5) * clog((1 + z) / (1 - z))
 

VERSIONS

These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
