43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Fd #include \*[Lt]math.h\*[Gt]
45.Ft double
46.Fn sinh "double x"
47.Ft float
48.Fn sinhf "float x"
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Fn sinh
52function computes the hyperbolic sine of
53.Fa x .
54.Sh RETURN VALUES
55The
56.Fn sinh
57function returns the hyperbolic sine value unless
58the  magnitude
59of
60.Fa x
61is too large; in this event, the global variable
62.Va errno
63is set to
64.Er ERANGE .
