NAME
acosh, acoshf, acoshl - inverse hyperbolic cosine function
SYNOPSIS
#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():
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
|| _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500
|| /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
acoshf(), acoshl():
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L

DESCRIPTION
These functions calculate the inverse hyperbolic cosine of x; that is
the value whose hyperbolic cosine is x.
RETURN VALUE
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.
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:
Domain error: x is less than 1
errno is set to EDOM. An invalid floating-point exception
(FE_INVALID) is raised.
