NAME
acosh - inverse hyperbolic cosine function

SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>

double
acosh(double x)

DESCRIPTION
The acosh() function computes the inverse hyperbolic cosine of the real
argument x. For a discussion of error due to roundoff, see math(3).

RETURN VALUES
The acosh() function returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine of x. On the
VAX and Tahoe, if the argument is less than one acosh() sets the global
variable errno to EDOM and causes a reserved operand fault.
