okay bestie, welcome to the POSIX Programmer's Manual πŸ’– this little cutie lives at SINL(3POSIX) and it's giving "math but make it long double" energy, no cap.


🌸 PROLOG 🌸

real talk first, because context is everything 🫢 β€” this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. That's the vibe.

heads up bestie β€” the Linux implementation of this interface may differ, so pls consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the tea on Linux behavior. or… the interface may not even be implemented on Linux at all 😭 it's giving "check before you commit."

the way that math.h just has to be there… mandatory bestie, mandatory πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Refer to sin().

yep. that's literally it. this page is a lil forwarding address β€” go read the sin() page for the full story, iykyk ✨
