.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions calculate the inverse hyperbolic tangent of
.IR x ;
that is the value whose hyperbolic tangent is
.IR x .
.SH RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the inverse hyperbolic tangent of
.IR x .
.P
If
.I x
is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
.P
If
.I x
is +0 (\-0), +0 (\-0) is returned.
.P
If
.I x
is +1 or \-1,
a pole error occurs,
and the functions return
.BR HUGE_VAL ,
.BR HUGE_VALF ,
or
.BR HUGE_VALL ,
respectively, with the mathematically correct sign.
.P
If the absolute value of
.I x
is greater than 1,
a domain error occurs,
and a NaN is returned.
.\"
.\" POSIX.1-2001 documents an optional range error for subnormal x;
.\" glibc 2.8 does not do this.
.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 less than \-1 or greater than +1
.I errno
is set to
.BR EDOM .
An invalid floating-point exception
.RB ( FE_INVALID )
is raised.
.TP
Pole error: \fIx\fP is +1 or \-1
.I errno
is set to
.B ERANGE
(but see BUGS).
A divide-by-zero floating-point exception
.RB ( FE_DIVBYZERO )
is raised.

.SH STANDARDS

.SH HISTORY
C99, POSIX.1-2001.
.P
The variant returning
.I double
also conforms to
SVr4, 4.3BSD.
.SH BUGS
In glibc 2.9 and earlier,
.\" Bug: https://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6759
.\" This can be seen in sysdeps/ieee754/k_standard.c
when a pole error occurs,
.I errno
is set to
.B EDOM
instead of the POSIX-mandated
.BR ERANGE .
Since glibc 2.10, glibc does the right thing.
