5 Arguments

1: $\mathbf{x}$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input

On entry: the argument $x$ of the function.

2: $\mathbf{ifail}$ – Integer Input/Output

On entry: ifail must be set to $0$, $-1\text{ or }1$. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to Section 4 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for details.

For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value $-1\text{ or }1$ is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value $1$ is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is $0$. When the value $-\mathbf{1}\text{ or }\mathbf{1}$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On exit: $\mathbf{ifail}=\mathbf{0}$ unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

$\mathbf{ifail}=1$

On entry, $\mathbf{x}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.
Constraint: $\left|\mathbf{x}\right|\le E_1$.
The routine has been called with an argument too large in absolute magnitude. There is a danger of overflow. The result returned is the value of $\sinh x$ at the closest argument for which a valid call could be made.

$\mathbf{ifail}=-99$

An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
