Description
These functions return the hyperbolic tangent of x, which is defined mathematically as:
tanh(x) = sinh(x) / cosh(x)
Errors
No errors occur.
History
C99, POSIX.1-2001.
The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
Library
Math library (libm, -lm)
Name
tanh, tanhf, tanhl - hyperbolic tangent function
Return Value
On success, these functions return the hyperbolic tangent 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), +1 (-1) is returned.
