NAME
       cosh, coshf, coshl - hyperbolic cosine function

SYNOPSIS
       #include 

       double cosh(double x);
       float coshf(float x);
       long double coshl(long double x);

       Link with -lm.

DESCRIPTION
       The  cosh()  function  returns  the  hyperbolic	cosine	of x, which is
       defined mathematically as:

	   cosh(x) = (exp(x) + exp(-x)) / 2

CONFORMING TO
       SVr4, POSIX, 4.3BSD, C99.  The float and the long double  variants  are
       C99 requirements.
