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
