### 8.7 `ACOSH` — Inverse hyperbolic cosine function

Description:
  `ACOSH(X)` computes the inverse hyperbolic cosine of X.
Standard:
  Fortran 2008 and later
Class:
  Elemental function
Syntax:
  `RESULT = ACOSH(X)`
Arguments:

  X | The type shall be `REAL` or `COMPLEX`.

Return value:
  The return value has the same type and kind as X. If X is complex, the imaginary part of the result is in radians and lies between 0 \leq \Im \acosh(x) \leq \pi.
Example:

                PROGRAM test_acosh
                  REAL(8), DIMENSION(3) :: x = (/ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 /)
                  WRITE (*,*) ACOSH(x)
                END PROGRAM

Specific names:

  Name | Argument | Return type | Standard
  `DACOSH(X)` | `REAL(8) X` | `REAL(8)` | GNU extension
