Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The cos, sin, and tan trigonometric functions return the cosine,
     sine, and tangent, respectively, of <x>.
 
     The long double functions use an 80-bit long double form of
     arguments and return values. In all other respects, they are
     identical to the regular functions.
 
     Return Value
 
     If <x> is large, a partial loss of significance in the result may
     occur in a trigonometric function. In this case, the function
     generates a _PLOSS error. If <x> is so large that significance is
     completely lost, the function prints a _TLOSS message to stderr
     and returns 0. In both cases, errno is set to ERANGE.
