mpp 69247d533f Fixed some minor formatting problems to silence manck some more.
Corrected some bogus cross references to man pages that we don't/won't
have and either deleted them, or found a more appropriate man page
that we do have.  Various other minor changes to silence manck.

Manck is currently down to about 200 lines of errors, down from
the 500 - 600+ when I started all this.

.Sh NAME
.Nm acosh ,
.Nm acoshf
.Nd inverse hyperbolic cosine functions
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <math.h>
.Ft double
.Fn acosh "double x"
.Ft float
.Fn acoshf "float x"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn acosh
and the
.Fn acoshf
functions compute the inverse hyperbolic cosine
of the real
argument
.Ar x .
For a discussion of error due to roundoff, see
.Xr math 3 .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The
.Fn acosh
and the
.Fn acoshf
functions
return the inverse hyperbolic cosine of
.Ar x .
On the
.Tn VAX
and
.Tn Tahoe ,
if the argument is less than one
.Fn acosh
sets the global variable
.Va errno
to
.Er EDOM
and
causes a reserved operand fault.

.Sh HISTORY
The
.Fn acosh
function appeared in
.Bx 4.3 .
