NAME
sincos, sincosf, sincosl - calculate sin and cos simultaneously SYNOPSIS
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */ #include <math.h> void sincos(double x, double *sin, double *cos); void sincosf(float x, float *sin, float *cos); void sincosl(long double x, long double *sin, long double *cos); Link with -lm. DESCRIPTION
Several applications need sine and cosine of the same angle x. These functions compute both at the same time, and store the results in *sin and *cos. Using this function can be more efficient than two separate calls to sin(3) and cos(3). If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned in *sin and *cos. If x is positive infinity or negative infinity, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned in *sin and *cos. RETURN VALUE
These functions return void. ERRORS
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions. The following errors can occur: Domain error: x is an infinity An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised. These functions do not set errno. VERSIONS
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1. ATTRIBUTES

These functions are GNU extensions. NOTES
To see the performance advantage of sincos(), it may be necessary to disable gcc(1) builtin optimizations, using flags such as: cc -O -lm -fno-builtin prog.c SEE ALSO

NAME
cos, cosf, cosl - cosine function SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> double cos(double x); float cosf(float x); long double cosl(long double x); Link with -lm. Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): cosf(), cosl(): _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE DESCRIPTION
These functions return the cosine of x, where x is given in radians. RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the cosine of x. If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is positive infinity or negative infinity, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned. ERRORS
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions. The following errors can occur: Domain error: x is an infinity errno is set to EDOM (but see BUGS). An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised. ATTRIBUTES

C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008. The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD. BUGS
Before version 2.10, the glibc implementation did not set errno to EDOM when a domain error occurred. SEE ALSO
