NAME
tanh, tanhf, tanhl - hyperbolic tangent functions SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> double tanh(double x); float tanhf(float x); long double tanhl(long double x); DESCRIPTION
These functions shall compute the hyperbolic tangent 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 tangent of x. If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned. If x is +-0, x shall be returned. If x is +-Inf, +-1 shall be returned. If x is subnormal, a range error may occur and x should be returned. ERRORS
These functions may fail if: Range Error The value of 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. SEE ALSO

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
