38.Sh NAME
39.Nm cos
40.Nd cosine function
41.Sh SYNOPSIS
42.Fd #include <math.h>
43.Ft double
44.Fn cos "double x"
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46The
47.Fn cos
48function computes the cosine of
49.Fa x
50(measured in radians).
51A large magnitude argument may yield a result with little or no
52significance.
53For a discussion of error due to roundoff, see
54.Xr math 3 .
55.Sh RETURN VALUES
56The
57.Fn cos
58function returns the cosine value.
