NAME
cos, cosf, cosl - cosine function
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double cos(double x);
float cosf(float x);
long double cosl(long double x);
Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
cosf(),
cosl():
-
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
|| /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
These functions return the cosine of
x,
where
x
is
given in radians.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the cosine of
x.
If
x
is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If
x
is positive infinity or negative infinity,
a domain error occurs,
and a NaN is returned.
ERRORS
See
math_error(7)
for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
when calling these functions.
The following errors can occur:
- Domain error: x is an infinity
-
errno
is set to
EDOM
(but see BUGS).
An invalid floating-point exception
(FE_INVALID)
is raised.
ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).

CONFORMING TO
C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
The variant returning
double
also conforms to
SVr4, 4.3BSD.
BUGS
Before version 2.10, the glibc implementation did not set
errno
to
EDOM
when a domain error occurred.
