NAME
sind( ), sindf( ), sindl( ), sindw( ), sindq( ) - sine functions of argument specified in degrees
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double sind(double x);
float sindf(float x);
HP Integrity Server Only
long double sindl(long double x);
extended sindw(extended x);
quad sindq(quad x);
DESCRIPTION
sind() returns the sine of x (x specified in degrees).
On PA-RISC systems,
sind() may lose accuracy when x is far from zero.
sindf() is a float version of sind(); it takes a
float argument and returns a float result.
Integrity Server Only
sindl() is a long double version of sind(); it takes a long double argument and returns a
long double result.
sindw() is an extended version of sind(); it takes an extended argument and returns an
extended result.
sindq() is equivalent to sindl() on HP-UX systems.
USAGE
To use these functions compile either with the default
-Ae option or with the
-Aa and
-D_HPUX_SOURCE options.
To use (for Integrity servers)
sindw() or sindq(), compile also with the -fpwidetypes option.
To use any of these functions, make sure your program includes
<math.h>, and link in the math library
by specifying -lm on the compiler or linker command line.
For more information, see the HP-UX floating-point guide for HP Integrity servers at the following site:

.
RETURN VALUE
If x is ±INFINITY,
sind() returns NaN and raises the invalid exception.
If x is NaN,
sind() returns NaN. If x is NaN or ±INFINITY,
sind() returns NaN.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
