NAME¶

sinh, sinhf, sinhl - hyperbolic sine function

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <math.h>

double sinh(double x);
 
float sinhf(float x);
 
long double sinhl(long double x);

Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
sinhf(), sinhl():

DESCRIPTION¶

The sinh() function returns the hyperbolic sine of x, which is defined mathematically as:

    sinh(x) = (exp(x) - exp(-x)) / 2

RETURN VALUE¶

On success, these functions return the hyperbolic sine of x. If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned. If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), positive infinity (negative infinity) is returned. If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL, respectively, with the same sign as x.

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:

Range error: result overflow

errno is set to ERANGE. An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.

CONFORMING TO¶

C99, POSIX.1-2001. The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
