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.
