NAME

       sinh, sinhf, sinhl - hyperbolic sine functions

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       double sinh(double x);
       float sinhf(float x);
       long double sinhl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION

       These functions shall compute the hyperbolic sine of their argument x.

       An   application   wishing   to   check   for  error  situations  should  set  errno  to  zero  and  call
       feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling  these  functions.   On  return,  if  errno  is  non-zero  or
       fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the hyperbolic sine of x.

       If  the  result  would  cause  an  overflow,  a  range  error  shall occur and ±HUGE_VAL, ±HUGE_VALF, and
       ±HUGE_VALL (with the same sign as x) shall be returned as appropriate for the type of the function.

       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.

       If x is ±0 or ±Inf, x shall be returned.

       If x is subnormal, a range error may occur and x should be returned.

ERRORS

       These functions shall fail if:

       Range Error
              The result would cause an overflow.

       If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO)  is  non-zero,  then  errno  shall  be  set  to
       [ERANGE].  If  the  integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the overflow
       floating-point exception shall be raised.

       These functions may fail if:

       Range Error
              The value x is subnormal.

       If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO)  is  non-zero,  then  errno  shall  be  set  to
       [ERANGE].  If  the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the underflow
       floating-point exception shall be raised.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and  (math_errhandling  &  MATH_ERREXCEPT)  are
       independent of each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
