inverse hyperbolic sine function
Library
Math library (libm, -lm)
Synopsis
#include <math.h> double asinh(double x); float asinhf(float x); long double asinhl(long double x);

Description
These functions calculate the inverse hyperbolic sine of x; that is the value whose hyperbolic sine is x.
Return Value
On success, these functions return the inverse hyperbolic sine of x.
If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.
If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), positive infinity (negative infinity) is returned.
Errors
No errors occur.
