ACOSH(3)

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.

DESCRIPTION
The acosh() function calculates the inverse hyperbolic cosine of x; that is the value whose hyperbolic cosine is x. If x is less than 1.0, acosh() returns not-a-number (NaN) and errno is set.

ERRORS

EDOM
    x is out of range.

CONFORMING TO
