To use this function, compile either with the default -Ae option or with the -Aa and -D_HPUX_SOURCE options. Make sure your program includes <math.h>. Link in the math library by specifying -lm on the compiler or linker command line.

RETURN VALUE

If x is ±INFINITY, asinh() returns ±INFINITY respectively.

If x is NaN, asinh() returns NaN.
