COS(3) Linux Programmer's Manual COS(3)

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.

ATTRIBUTES

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.
