27.Sh NAME
28.Nm sincos ,
29.Nm sincosf ,
30.Nm sincosl
31.Nd sine and cosine functions
32.Sh LIBRARY
33.Lb libm
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.In math.h
36.Ft void
37.Fn sincos "double x" "double *s" "double *c"
38.Ft void
39.Fn sincosf "float x" "float *s" "float *c"
40.Ft void
41.Fn sincosl "long double x" "long double *s" "long double *c"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Fn sincos ,
45.Fn sincosf ,
46and
47.Fn sincosl
48functions compute the sine and cosine of
49.Fa x .
50Using these functions allows argument reduction to occur only
51once instead of twice with individual invocations of
52.Fn sin
53and
54.Fn cos .
55Like
56.Fn sin
57and
58.Fn cos ,
59a large magnitude argument may yield a result with little
60or no significance.
61.Sh RETURN VALUES
62Upon returning from
63.Fn sincos ,
64.Fn sincosf ,
65and
66.Fn sincosl ,
67the memory pointed to by
68.Fa "*s"
69and
70.Fa "*c"
71are assigned the values of sine and cosine, respectively.
72.Sh SEE ALSO
73.Xr cos 3 ,
74.Xr sin 3
75.Sh HISTORY
76These functions were added to
77.Fx 11.2
78to aid in writing various complex function contained in
79.St -isoC-99 .
