NAME

6       asin, asinf, asinl - arc sine function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <math.h>
10
11       double asin(double x);
12       float asinf(float x);
13       long double asinl(long double x);

20           _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L

DESCRIPTION

25       These  functions  calculate  the  principal value of the arc sine of x;
26       that is the value whose sine is x.
27

RETURN VALUE

29       On success, these functions return the principal value of the arc  sine
30       of x in radians; the return value is in the range [-pi/2, pi/2].
31
32       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
33
34       If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.
35
36       If  x is outside the range [-1, 1], a domain error occurs, and a NaN is
37       returned.
38

ERRORS

40       See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an  error
41       has occurred when calling these functions.
42
43       The following errors can occur:
44
45       Domain error: x is outside the range [-1, 1]
46              errno  is  set  to  EDOM.   An  invalid floating-point exception
47              (FE_INVALID) is raised.
