catanhl - Linux
Overview
catanhl is a command-line utility that calculates the inverse hyperbolic tangent of a given value. It finds applications in mathematics, engineering, and scientific fields where hyperbolic functions are involved.
Syntax
catanhl [OPTIONS] <VALUE>
Options/Flags
| Option | Description | Default |
|—|—|—|
| -h, –help | Display help information | – |
| -e, –error | Output error messages (for debugging) | – |
Examples
Calculate the inverse hyperbolic tangent of 0.5:
catanhl 0.5
Calculate the inverse hyperbolic tangent of -1:
catanhl -1
Use the -e
flag to output error messages:
catanhl invalid_input -e
Common Issues
- Invalid Input: Using a value outside the range [-1, 1] will result in an error.
- Numerical Errors: Very large or small values may lead to rounding errors or underflow/overflow.
Integration
catanhl can be used with other mathematical commands, such as bc, awk, and sed. For example:
echo 0.5 | bc -l | catanhl
