Description

       These functions return the hyperbolic sine of x, which is defined mathematically as:

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

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.

History

       C99, POSIX.1-2001.

       The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.

Library

       Math library (libm, -lm)

Name

       sinh, sinhf, sinhl - hyperbolic sine function

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.

Standards

       C11, POSIX.1-2008.
