sinh, sinhf -- hyperbolic sine function LIBRARY
Math Library (libm, -lm) SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> double sinh(double x); float sinhf(float x); DESCRIPTION
The sinh() function computes the hyperbolic sine of x. RETURN VALUES
The sinh() function returns the hyperbolic sine value unless the magnitude of x is too large; in this event, the global variable errno is set to ERANGE. SEE ALSO

Math Library (libm.a) SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> double sinh (double x); float sinhf (float x); long double sinhl (long double x); double cosh (double x); float coshf (float x); long double coshl (long double x); double tanh (double x); float tanhf (float x); long double tanhl (long double x); STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows: cosh(): XPG4 sinh(): XPG4 tanh(): XPG4 Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags. DESCRIPTION
The sinh(), sinhf(), and sinhl() functions compute the hyperbolic sine of x. Both sinh(x), sinhf(x), and sinhl(x) are defined as (exp(x) - exp(-x))/2. The cosh(), coshf(), and coshl() functions compute the hyperbolic cosine of x. Both cosh(x), coshf(x), and coshl(x) are defined as (e**x + e**(-x))/2. The tanh(), tanhf(), and tanhl() functions compute the hyperbolic tangent of x. Both tanh(x), tanhf(x), and tanhl(x) are defined as (e**x - e**(-x))/(e**x + e**(-x)).
