    The a\bac\bco\bos\bsh\bh() function computes the inverse hyperbolic cosine of the real
    argument _\bx. For a discussion of error due to roundoff, see math(3).

    The a\bac\bco\bos\bsh\bh() function returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine of _\bx. On the
    VAX and Tahoe, if the argument is less than one a\bac\bco\bos\bsh\bh() sets the global
    variable _\be_\br_\br_\bn_\bo to EDOM and causes a reserved operand fault.
