39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40.In math.h
41.Ft double
42.Fn sinh "double x"
43.Ft float
44.Fn sinhf "float x"
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46The
47.Fn sinh
48function computes the hyperbolic sine of
49.Fa x .
50.Sh RETURN VALUES
51The
52.Fn sinh
53function returns the hyperbolic sine value unless
54the magnitude of
55.Fa x
56is too large; in this event, the global variable
57.Va errno
58is set to
59.Er ERANGE .
