sin(3) - Linux man page
Name
sin, sinf, sinl - sine function
Synopsis
#include <math.h> double sin(double x); float sinf(float x); long double sinl(long double x);Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
- sinf(), sinl():
- _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;
or cc -std=c99
Description
The sin() function returns the sine of x, where x is given in radians.
Return Value
On success, these functions return the sine of x.
If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is positive infinity or negative infinity, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
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 an infinity
- errno is set to EDOM (but see BUGS). An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.
Conforming To
C99, POSIX.1-2001. The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
Bugs
Before version 2.10, the glibc implementation did not set errno to EDOM when a domain error occurred.
