cos(double x);
float cosf(float x);
long double cosl(long double x);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

These functions return the cosine of x, where x is given in radians.
On success, these functions return the cosine of x.
If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is positive infinity or negative infinity, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.
The following
errors can occur:
Domain error: x is an infinity
errno is set to EDOM (but see BUGS). An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.

C11, POSIX.1-2008.
C89, POSIX.1-2001.
The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD.
Before glibc 2.10, the glibc implementation did not set errno to EDOM when a domain error occurred.
