Name

asinh, asinhf, asinhl - inverse hyperbolic sine function

Synopsis


#include <math.h>
double asinh(double x);
float asinhf(float x);
long double asinhl(long double x);

Link with -lm.

Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7) ):

asinh():

_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || _XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED || _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;
or cc -std=c99

asinhf(), asinhl():
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;
or cc -std=c99

Description

The asinh() function calculates the inverse hyperbolic sine of x; that is the value whose hyperbolic sine is x.

Return Value

On success, these functions return the inverse 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.

Errors

No errors occur.

Attributes

Multithreading (see pthreads(7) )

The asinh(), asinhf(), and asinhl() functions are thread-safe.

Conforming to

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