coshl(3) OSS Library Calls Reference Manual
NAME
coshl - Computes the hyperbolic cosine function for a long double value
LIBRARY
H-series and J-series native Guardian processes: $SYSTEM.ZDLLnnn.ZCREDLL
32-bit H-series and J-series OSS processes: /G/system/zdllnnn/zcredll
64-bit H-series and J-series OSS processes: /G/system/zdllnnn/ycredll
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
long double coshl(
long double x);
PARAMETERS
x Is the long double value for which the hyperbolic cosine function is to be com-
puted.
DESCRIPTION
The coshl() function is a long double version of the cosh( ) function; it takes a long double argu-
ment and returns a long double result.
The coshl() function computes the hyperbolic cosine of x.
NOTES
This function supports both IEEE Std 754-1985 floating-point and Tandem floating-point values
in the native environment. IEEE values can include NaN and infinity, and the sign of 0.0 (zero)
can be either positive or negative. Refer to the fp_class(3) reference page for a description of
IEEE value classes.
Guardian functions are available to convert between floating-point formats. Refer to the Guar-
dian Programmer’s Guide for a discussion of floating-point conversions.
RETURN VALUES
The coshl() function returns the hyperbolic cosine of its parameter.
For IEEE floating-point values, if the value of x is NaN, NaN is returned. If the absolute value of
x is infinity, positive infinity is returned.
If the result would cause an overflow, HUGE_VALL is returned and errno is set to [ERANGE].
ERRORS
If any of the following conditions occurs, the coshl( ) function sets errno to the corresponding
value:
[ERANGE] The result would cause overflow.

STANDARDS CONFORMANCE
