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)):

_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || _XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED || _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;
or cc -std=c99
asinhf(), asinhl():

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.

Conforming To

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