.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR cos ()
function returns the cosine of \fIx\fP, where \fIx\fP is
given in radians.
.SH RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the cosine of
.IR x .
If
.I x
is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If
.I x
is positive infinity or negative infinity,
a domain error occurs,
and a NaN is returned.
.SH ERRORS
See
.BR math_error (7)
for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred
when calling these functions.
.PP
The following errors can occur:
.TP
Domain error: \fIx\fP is an infinity
.\" .I errno
.\" is set to
.\" .BR EDOM .
An invalid floating-point exception
.RB ( FE_INVALID )
is raised.
.PP
These functions do not set
.IR errno .
.\" FIXME . Is it intentional that these functions do not set errno?
.\" Bug raised: http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6780
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
C99, POSIX.1-2001.
The variant returning
.I double
also conforms to
SVr4, 4.3BSD.
