acosh, acoshf, acoshl - inverse hyperbolic cosine function
#include <math.h>
double acosh(double x);
float acoshf(float x);
long double acoshl(long double x);
Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
acosh():
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 ||
_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED || _ISOC99_SOURCE ||
_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;
or cc -std=c99
acoshf(), acoshl():
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE ||
_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;
or cc -std=c99
The acosh() function calculates the inverse hyperbolic cosine of x; that is
the value whose hyperbolic cosine is x.
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.
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 less than 1
errno is set to EDOM. An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID)
is raised.
C99, POSIX.1-2001. The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4,
4.3BSD, C89.
