PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
       tanh, tanhf, tanhl - hyperbolic tangent functions
SYNOPSIS
       #include <math.h>
       double tanh(double x);
       float tanhf(float x);
       long double tanhl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION
       These functions shall compute the hyperbolic tangent of their  argument
       x.
       An  application  wishing to check for error situations should set errno
       to zero and  call  feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT)  before  calling  these
       functions.   On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID
       | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error  has
       occurred.
RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the hyperbolic
       tangent of x.
       If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
       If x is +-0, x shall be returned.
       If x is +-Inf, +-1 shall be returned.
       If x is subnormal, a range error may occur and x should be returned.
ERRORS
       These functions may fail if:
       Range Error
              The value of x is subnormal.
       If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is  non-zero,
       then  errno  shall  be  set  to  [ERANGE].  If  the  integer expression
       (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is  non-zero,  then  the  underflow
       floating-point exception shall be raised.

       The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
       None.
APPLICATION USAGE
       On   error,   the   expressions  (math_errhandling  &  MATH_ERRNO)  and
       (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other,  but
       at least one of them must be non-zero.
RATIONALE
       None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
