NAME
       sinh, sinhf, sinhl - hyperbolic sine function

SYNOPSIS
       c99 [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
       #include <math.h>

       double sinh(double x);

       float sinhf(float x);

       long double sinhl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION
       These functions compute the hyperbolic sine of x.

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

       If  the	result	would  cause  an  overflow, a range error occurs and +-HUGE_VAL, +-HUGE_VALF, and +-HUGE_VALL (with the same sign as x) is
       returned as appropriate for the type of the function.

       If x is NaN, a NaN is returned.

       If x is +-0 or +-Inf, x is returned.

       For exceptional cases, matherr(3M) tabulates the values to be returned by acos() as specified by SVID3 and XPG3.

ERRORS
       These functions will fail if:

       Range Error    The result would cause an overflow.

		      If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, the overflow floating-point exception is raised.

		      The asinh() function sets errno to ERANGE if the result would cause an overflow.

USAGE
       An application wanting to check for exceptions should call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before  calling	these  functions.  On  return,	if
       fetestexcept(FE_INVALID	|  FE_DIVBYZERO  |  FE_OVERFLOW  |  FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an exception has been raised. An application should
       either examine the return value or check the floating point exception flags to detect exceptions.

       An application can also set errno to 0 before calling asinh(). On return, if errno is non-zero, an error has  occurred.	The  asinhf()  and
       asinhl() functions do not set errno.
