NAME

acosh, acoshf, acoshl - inverse hyperbolic cosine function

SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h>
double acosh(double x);
float acoshf(float x);
long double acoshl(long double x);


Link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION


These functions calculate the inverse hyperbolic cosine of
    x; that is the value whose hyperbolic cosine is x.






RETURN VALUE


On success, these functions return the inverse hyperbolic cosine
    of x.


If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.


If x is +1, +0 is returned.


If x is positive infinity, positive infinity is
  returned.


If x is less than 1, a domain error occurs, and the
    functions return a NaN.






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:



  

  
errno is set to EDOM. An invalid floating-point exception
      (FE_INVALID) is raised.

CONFORMING TO


C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.


The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4,
  4.3BSD.
