.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions return the hyperbolic tangent of
.IR x ,
which
is defined mathematically as:
.P
.nf
tanh(x) = sinh(x) / cosh(x)
.fi
.SH RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the 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 positive infinity (negative infinity),
+1 (\-1) is returned.
.\"
.\" POSIX.1-2001 documents an optional range error (underflow)
.\" for subnormal x;
.\" glibc 2.8 does not do this.
.SH ERRORS
No errors occur.
