NAME

sinh(), sinhf() — hyperbolic sine functions

SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h>

double sinh(double x);

float sinhf(float x);

DESCRIPTION

sinh() returns the hyperbolic sine of its argument.

sinhf() is a float version of sinh(); it takes a float argument and returns a float result. To use this function, compile either with the default -Ae option or with the -Aa and -D_HPUX_SOURCE options.

sinhf() is not specified by any standard, but it is named in accordance with the conventions specified in the "Future Library Directions" section of the ANSI C standard.

To use these functions, make sure your program includes <math.h>, and link in the math library by specifying -lm on the compiler or linker command line.

RETURN VALUE

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

If x is NaN, sinh() returns NaN.

If the correct value after rounding would be smaller in magnitude than MINDOUBLE, sinh() returns zero.

If the correct value would overflow, sinh() returns HUGE_VAL (it returns -HUGE_VAL for negative x) and sets errno to [ERANGE].

ERRORS

If sinh() fails, errno is set to the following value.

[ERANGE]

The correct value would overflow.
