.SH NAME
cacosh, cacoshf, cacoshl \- complex arc hyperbolic cosine
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <complex.h>

.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR cacosh ()
function calculates the complex arc hyperpolic cosine of
.IR z .
If \fIy\ =\ cacosh(z)\fP, then \fIz\ =\ ccosh(y)\fP.
The imaginary part of
.I y
is chosen in the interval [\-pi,pi].
The real part of
.I y
is chosen nonnegative.
.LP
One has:
.nf

    cacosh(z) = (0.5) * clog((1 + z) / (1 \- z))

.SH VERSIONS
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
