ATANH(3) BSD Programmer's Manual ATANH(3) NNAAMMEE aattaannhh - inverse hyperbolic tangent function SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS ##iinncclluuddee <<mmaatthh..hh>> _d_o_u_b_l_e aattaannhh(_d_o_u_b_l_e _x); DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN The aattaannhh() function computes the inverse hyperbolic tangent of the real argument _x. For a discussion of error due to roundoff, see math(3). RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEESS The aattaannhh() function returns the inverse hyperbolic tangent of _x if suc- cessful. On the VAX and Tahoe, if the argument has absolute value bigger than or equal to 1, aattaannhh() sets the global variable _e_r_r_n_o to EDOM and a reserved operand fault is generated.
