NAME

       acos, acosf, acosl - arc cosine function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       double acos(double x);
       float acosf(float x);
       long double acosl(long double x);

       Link with -lm.

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       acosf(), acosl():
	   _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;
	   or cc -std=c99

DESCRIPTION

       The acos() function calculates the arc cosine of x; that is the value whose cosine is x.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, these functions return the arc cosine of x in radians; the return value is in the range [0, pi].

       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.

       If x is +1, +0 is returned.

       If x is positive infinity or negative infinity, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.

       If x is outside the range [-1, 1], 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 outside the range [-1, 1]
	      errno is set to EDOM.  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.

NAME

       cos, cosf, cosl - cosine function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       double cos(double x);
       float cosf(float x);
       long double cosl(long double x);

       Link with -lm.

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       cosf(), cosl():
	   _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
	       || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
	       || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

       These functions return the cosine of x, where x is given in radians.

RETURN VALUE

       On success, these functions return the cosine 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, POSIX.1-2008.

       The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD.

BUGS

       Before version 2.10, the glibc implementation did not set errno to EDOM when a domain error occurred.
