NAME

cosh, coshf — hyperbolic cosine function

LIBRARY

Math Library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h>

double
cosh(double x);

float
coshf(float x);

DESCRIPTION

The cosh() and coshf() functions compute the hyperbolic cosine of x.

RETURN VALUES

If the magnitude of x is too large, cosh(x) and coshf(x) return Inf and sets the global variable errno to ERANGE.
