.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions return the cosine of
.IR x ,
where
.I x
is
given in radians.
.SH RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the cosine of
.IR x .
.P
If
.I x
is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
.P
If
.I x
is positive infinity or negative infinity,
a domain error occurs,
and a NaN is returned.
.SH ERRORS
See
.BR math_error (7)
for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
when calling these functions.
.P
The following errors can occur:
.TP
Domain error: \fIx\fP is an infinity
.I errno
is set to
.B EDOM
(but see BUGS).
An invalid floating-point exception
.RB ( FE_INVALID )
is raised.

.P
The variant returning
.I double
also conforms to
SVr4, 4.3BSD.
.SH BUGS
Before glibc 2.10, the glibc implementation did not set
.\" https://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6780
.I errno
to
.B EDOM
when a domain error occurred.
