(1) (since C99)
double asinh ( double arg ) ;

long double asinhl ( long double arg ) ;

Defined in header <tgmath.h>
#define asinh( arg )
(4) (since C99)
1-3) Computes the inverse hyperbolic sine of arg .
4) Type-generic macro: If the argument has type long double , asinhl is called. Otherwise, if the argument has integer type or the type double , asinh is called. Otherwise, asinhf is called. If the argument is complex, then the macro invokes the corresponding complex function ( casinhf , casinh , casinhl ).

Parameters

arg - floating-point value representing the area of a hyperbolic sector

Return value

If no errors occur, the inverse hyperbolic sine of arg ( sinh -1
(arg) , or arsinh(arg) ), is returned.

If a range error occurs due to underflow, the correct result (after rounding) is returned.

Error handling

Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling .

If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),

  • If the argument is ±0 or ±∞, it is returned unmodified.
  • If the argument is NaN, NaN is returned.

Notes

Although the C standard names this function "arc hyperbolic sine", the inverse functions of the hyperbolic functions are the area functions. Their argument is the area of a hyperbolic sector, not an arc. The correct name is "inverse hyperbolic sine" (used by POSIX) or "area hyperbolic sine".

Example

Run this code 
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    printf("asinh(1) = %f\nasinh(-1) = %f\n", asinh(1), asinh(-1));
    // special values
    printf("asinh(+0) = %f\nasinh(-0) = %f\n", asinh(0.0), asinh(-0.0));
}

Output: 

asinh(1) = 0.881374
asinh(-1) = -0.881374
asinh(+0) = 0.000000
asinh(-0) = -0.000000
